House Creek, Telluride, San Juan Mtn Skyway

After Canyon de Chelly we continued into SW Colorado which is still part of the 4 corners region. We found another terrific campground near Cortez, CO on the McPhee Reservoir. We liked it so much we stayed 9 nights. It must have something to do with the bluebird of happiness that perched nearby.




We also had hummingbirds that continually buzzed us at the campsite. One day trip was a drive on the San Juan Mountains Skyway. Spectacular views for hours including multiple 14K ft mountains and 3 10K ft passes. Lizard Head Pass was almost 11K and had the loveliest little lake.
Stopped in Telluride to view the waterfall and had a picnic lunch by the river.
