I grew up spending 2 weeks every summer in that area. There was a small lake we could walk to, about 15 minutes away. I've never in my life had the creeped out being watched feeling that I had at that lake, and it happened many times there. I also saw a black mass running up stream as we drove past a creek and it was running up stream as fast as we were driving, but I was 11 or 12 years old and just chalked it up to being a bear. Not so sure now. There is massive open country up there. Thanks for sharing.

We tried to go to Telluride from Ouray around 5 years ago? It was sketch in a full size pickup so we backed out and went around.

 

Beautiful country for sure!IMG_0206.jpeg👍

I'm hearing the C.W. McCall song about his family trip through there in the "U drive'm army Jeep car" in my head now:D

@norsemanlooks like a great time. Beautiful country. Lots of BLM land and not heavily trafficked.

It’s beautiful country. The only weird thing coming from the Pacific NW is the lack of water. I do like that it’s not choked with evergreens. Lots of really big parks and grass and meadows. And there are jeep trails everywhere. They lock everything up around here.
