Riding High on Colorado’s Highway to the Sky

J. Dawg — Sat, 30 Jul 2016 09:00:21 +0000

After leaving Rifle Falls, we continued our homeward trek east through central Colorado. We’d been up in the San Juans, the Western Slope, and the Central Mountains experiencing a great Rocky Mountain high for the past month. In two days we’d leave the mountains and be back down on the flat lands. But before […]

Two Cool Places on Colorado’s Western Slope

After leaving Fruita the Beautah and Country Jam, it was time for us to make the turn and start heading east. We’d been in Colorado for about 5 weeks and unfortunately, it was time to start our journey home. Instead of just blasting east on I-70 for 5 long days, I picked out a few […]

Pausing, Soaking, and Relaxing in Ridgway

After six days of marveling at the mountain eye candy in Silverton and Ouray, we moved a short distance up the road to the small town of Ridgway. We visited this town last year, using it as our base to explore the area. Ridgway’s a more sedate place than the busy tourist towns of Silverton and […]

Loving it in Lovely Ouray

J. Dawg — Sat, 18 Jun 2016 09:00:00 +0000

On last years Colorado Roadtrip, Ouray was just a quick one day recon stop while we were staying in Ridgway. Driving through the town, it seemed like a pretty cool place. Having read some fellow bloggers reports about Ouray, it peaked my interest to make it a destination on this years roadtrip. The small town […]

Revisiting the Great Sand Dunes

J. Dawg — Sat, 11 Jun 2016 09:00:49 +0000

Heading south from Salida, we climbed up over Poncha Pass and descended into the broad San Luis Valley. The pass is fairly easy to climb and cross over at 9,010 ft. The San Luis Valley is bordered on the east by the Sangre De Cristo Mountains. This valley is so different from the eastern side […]
