Well, its officially summertime. Time to play in the mountains, drink refreshing beverages and savor that flavor, because from here on out, the days are only getting shorter. And who knows how to enjoy a hard-earned summer better than us Durangoans? With the aftermath of the solstice still lingering, heres a few shots of life in Durango during the longest day of the year.

Nothing but summer in this view from the Animas Mountain overlook. Kyle Duran (left) and Lawrence Mayberry tie on a lure under the train bridge. Theotherstate flower, lupine on the Colorado Trail. Fellow Colorado Trail users Jayme Varco and Bob Kuhnert soak in the view from Gudys Rest above Junction Creek.
