Fall In the Rockies


Arriving in Southern Colorado on the 1st of October meant that the fall colors were at their peak.  We took a day to drive and see the mountains and do some leaf peeping.

We started with a drive from the San Luis Valley over to Durango and then headed north on the "Million Dollar Highway"




The "Million Dollar Highway" connects Durango to the "Switzerland of America," Ouray, CO.  OOHH, a tree with red leaves!

Connecting Ouray to Telluride is the "Dallas Divide Highway"



We arrived into the Telluride area at sunset.  Telluride is in that valley in the distance.



We were lucky to catch the final rays of sunlight as we drove south into the town of Cortez along the Dolores River.




A PERFECT fall day!
