Durango to Telluride

We stayed at the Echo Basin Resort before heading to Telluride. We encountereda Bear crossing the road on our way there.






When he wasn't horsing around, Tucson made a new friend.




From there we passed through Canyon of the Ancients National Monument in the Southwest corner of Colorado. Remnants of ancient Puebloan homes are scattered across the Monument.






A 1/2 mile trail from the Visitor's Center leads to the Pueblo Escalante






With a view of McPhee Resevoir






We take a ride to see the Lowry Pueblo which is 1,000 years old.




It has 40 rooms, 8 Kivas and a great Kiva.






From here we drive to Telluride




Snow capped Mountains loom ahead.









It has a nice little downtown and lots of small Victorian houses.






and some not so small.






The Town had a small campground so we stayed there. Just us and one other camper.




It had a nice view and a short walk to town.






There are some interesting hikes and drives so we'll get to them tomorrow!







Till Later!




Meanwhile, we keep on Trek'n




Melissa, Gary & Tucson
