Pagosa Peaks Trail Series - 2009 was the inaugural year for this trail series, based in Pagosa Springs, CO, and was established as a fundraising vehicle for GECKO. Morgan and his team were a pleasure to work with in 2009 and the series was a huge success, which in turn benefited the GECKO organization as a whole. Year 2 should be even better, and we're glad to be on board once again.
