A cyclist rides through a muddy area Tuesday on East Animas Road (County Road 250) where rapid snowmelt on Missionary Ridge has brought down a clay-like mixture making for slick driving conditions north of Durango. The temperature was expected to reach 74 degrees Wednesday in Durango with a slight chance of rain showers in the evening. (Jerry McBride/Durango Herald)
