The Chicago Basin hike is the adventure of a lifetime. The journey begins with a ride on the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad to the remote Needleton stop. From there, you'll backpack six miles into a breathtakingly beautiful basin surrounded by jagged peaks. It’s the primary basecamp for climbing the 14ers Eolus, Windom, and Sunlight, offering an unparalleled and unforgettable wilderness experience.
