Fall Tour Day Four: Ouray to Lakewood

A final, gentle sunrise over the San Juans as we prepared to leave Ouray.

A Bonus Day at the Black Canyon

 Our trip was supposed to be a three-day loop, but we woke up in Ouray and realized we were too close to an opportunity to pass it up. The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park—a place I had never been and Tim was eager to see again—was just a short drive away.

Fall Tour Day Two: Alamosa to Ouray

Day two began with a spectacular celestial handover in Alamosa. As the sun rose over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains behind us, a thick fog still clung to the San Juans ahead, the range we’d be exploring all day.
