hiked up to Pear Lake, set up camp for three days and then hiked back down.

Hoping to have a similar experience
Chicago Basin is for you then. You will ride the Durango-Silverton train to the drop off at the Needle Creek trailhead, then hike 8 miles or so up into the Weminuche wilderness. You will be surrounded by 3 14ers of various degrees of difficulty to summit and lots of other ridges and trails.
Google it and check out some images. It's a great place. When you come down and go back to Durango, spend a couple nights recovering and rehydrating at the 4 breweries in town

haven't picked a date yet for this trip...hopefully summer if we can fit it in...so, last week of May until early August are the options.
I suppose last week of May could have snow melting issues?

I've heard this is a great place. Would look into it.
Beware of bears in summer.
