We were to go to Black Canyon National Park today but because of the changeable weather we thought it was best to see Telluride and surrounding areas while we could. What a fabulous area of Colorado. I think that this is my favourite of all the places we have seen in this state. We headed out on Highway 550 from Montrose towards the town of R http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Colorado/Telluride/blog-442174.html WEEK THREE WALSENBURG CO TO TELLURIDE COTuesday June 9 The drive to Le Veta brought us through the wide open spaces of the Front Range giving us a dramatic view of the snow covered Spanish Peaks and the Greenhorn Mountain Wilderness Area. To the north and west were the Sangre de Cristo Mountains .

Thursday June 26. We ate our breakfast on the balcony of our room overlooking 5th street while listening to the insistent whistle of the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad train calling passengers to board for the 3 hour ride to Silverton.

Chail ShimlaTelluride CO We drove to Telluride from Phoenix first week of October. Ideally this is not a journey you want to drive. It goes through the infamous highway 666 in the Navajo ntion. And as luck would have it we ran into car trouble in the middle of the desert. The drive took us through Tuba an interesting place with a lot http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Colorado/Telluride/blog-310539.html So remember how we said that this was our great adventure...well the real adventure started on Saturday when we left the Great Sand Dunes. We headed north went through Creede an old mining town and wanted to take Highway 110 for the 31 miles from Lake City to Silverton as it would cut about 100 miles off of our trip. It started out fine albeit a little surprising as the road was dirt. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Colorado/Telluride/blog-309068.html It's been five months since we returned from our twoyearlong 15country adventure. Within days of our return reverse culture shock quickly ceded to the bliss of hot showers comfortable beds home cooking and washing machines. After 23 months of laundering clothes by hand in freezing water followed by mosquitoridden nights on buginfested beds America seems truly luxurious.

Telluride is one of my favorite places of all times. Since most of my time has been spent during the winter late spring was a new experience. After 9hours of driving there was no more room at the town camping ground so up Alta Lakes to over 10000 feet for some national forest camping up past some old mining ghost town.
