Southwestern Colorado

We are in SW Colorado right now near Cortez. Staying in a pretty campground overlooking McPhee Reservoir. No internet for a week or so but when we get back to wifi, I'll post pictures. This is beautiful country. Yesterday we drove the San Juan Mountains Skyway scenic drive. Amazing. Multiple 14K foot mountains, 3 11K passes, the million dollar road from Ouray to Silverton was spectacular & spectacularly scary! Narrow, no guardrails, and thousands of feet down to the river canyon. The Anazazi Heritage Center and Canyon of the Ancients National Monument were well done and interesting. Mesa Verde National Park is next. Then no more ruins for a while. More Soon!
