We finally had the chance to take a full day to run some Jeep trails. We went over Ophir Pass (Jeep trail) to Telluride and came back to camp via Last Dollar Road.
As far as we are concerned, it is hard to beat the views around Ouray, especially since they are within a day's driving of Dallas!
Toni was particularly impressed by this shelf road that was near the summit! ha
The small print says to not come this way if you are a wuss and don't have a high clearance four-wheel drive vehicle. Just kidding...................I don't remember what it said. Toni can probably tell you.
A nice view from the summit.
This is one of several nice flower pictures that Toni took while on the trail.
Do a double click on the picture and you will find a marmot. (or a really big squirrel)
As you can see........................more flowers.
A look at the trail going down. Toni actually did very well on this trip! I was very proud of her (and relieved).
Nearing the bottom of the trail, we came through this beautiful stand of trees.
We came through the little town of Ophir. As you can see, this still has a high elevation.
Local homes.
A nice home in Ophir.
This little bitty town even has a post office!
On the way back on the Last Dollar Road, we came by this nice grove of aspen.
We have a lot more pictures of all the various travel locations so if you want to see more, you are just going to have to come see us!!
