Ouray

Well stayed in Ouray for a few days.  While I didn’t go backpacking, we did do a few hikes in the area.

We drove to the Blue Lakes trailhead which is the same place that Bob took me almost 40 years ago.  The trail is steep, but really nice.  Here’s a bunch of pictures from the hike.  We made it to the lower lake before turning back since the snow was getting deep.

 

This is looking down into the valley to what 40 years ago used to be a lake created by a beaver damming up the streams.  The beaver must be gone since it’s returned to a nice meadow.

The next day we hiked to the waterfall in town and ended up on the perimeter trail of Ouray.  The views were amazing.

The trail was longer that we thought and when we got back to town, both dogs climbed into the fountain to cool off.

Today we are off to Durango.
