We left Mesa Verde this morning and back tracked the ten
miles into Cortez where we picked up scenic highway 145. This route took us
through Dolores, Stoner, Rico, and Telluride where we saw multimillion dollar
homes scattered across the mountains overlooking this famous resort town. We continued through Placerville and
eventually arriving in Ridgway where we are staying at a lovely State Park. The
snow capped Rockies are awesome; Ridgway is home to Ralph Lauren where his 17,000
acre ranch, the little you can see of it, is huge. We drove miles and miles before leaving his property.
After getting set up at the park we drove to Ouray another
pretty mountain town that is nestled into the mountains. We took a short walk to view cascade falls
which was running with snow melt from above. There is a gold mine tour offered
in Ouray that we may check out tomorrow.
We don’t have WIFI in the park so we are off to town to see
if we can post this blog.
Happy Mother’s day to all the Mothers out there.
