San Juan Mountains Trip, Part 3--South of Ouray
Oct 23, 2023 09:28:55 #
The morning got off to a good start with big clouds and calm winds, but that changed as a front moved in, bringing winds and cooler temps. I had such big plans for the day on the Million Dollar Hwy. until my friend told me she got panic attacks from sheer drop-offs. She was being serious and I could appreciate how heights become more of an issue as we age. Guess I will save that itinerary for another trip, lol. But the morning spent at Crystal Lake couldn't have been lovelier with the mirror reflections on the water and the golden light. We spent an hour strolling the shore before the wind moved in, roiling the water and darkening the skies.

Beautiful! I was up there three weeks ago and the aspens we’re changing but not as pretty as they are now.

Can't visit SW Colorado without seeing Crystal! An earlier post features Woods Lake, which is positionally NW of Telluride and accessed via a road that is just a stone's throw from the Sawpit Mercantile.
