The Durango Bird Club\u2019s August field trip to be held Saturday will take participants to Summit Reservoir, which is 7.6 miles from the town of Mancos in Montezuma County.<\/p>\n
This site is designated as a pond, lake, reservoir and ponderosa forest. The group will meet at 7 a.m. at the Hesperus Post Office. The group will proceed to the site at 7:10 a.m. The group will arrive at the lake around 7:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

Participants should follow the gravel road down to the parking area, which is adjacent to the water.<\/p>\n
Admission is free.<\/p>\n
