The two-day trip we took around the San Juan Skyway was sooooo wonderful! We were not rushed (though it was after 7 p.m. when we got home Wednesday) and we met so many nice people and enjoyed so many beautiful scenes. Thank goodness we took two days for the loop; maybe in summer and fall we'll make it three days to allow for more exploring. The bottom picture is of Lizard Head Pass, with snow flurries moving in. We didn't get snowed on, but it made for dramatic skies and landscape.
The middle picture is of Ouray from the south, up above the Ice Park, at about 10 a.m., when the sun was just fully covering the town. Not a place for claustrophobes!
The top view is of a Buick-based mail truck on rails, parked next to the visitor center in Ridgway. I don't remember seeing it when we went through last fall, and it's a neat addition. There's also Galloping Goose #4 parked there. It's not as nice as #5 in Dolores, but the plan is to restore it.
All in all, the combination of beautiful scenery and the pleasant people in the small towns made it SUCH a pleasant trip! tv
