Perins Peak

From a distance, Perins Peak is visible through the woodlands of Overend Mountain Park at the edge of the small town of Durango. This forested area was my playground as a small child during the late 1950s where I developed a life-long love for unspoiled nature. In my child's mind I thought that the peak was called "Parents Peak", and that it was a place for grownups to get away from their nagging children.
