Black Canyon & Ouray

We just got back from a 10 day trip to Southwestern Colorado. We spent the first few days on the North Rim of the Black Canyon outside of Crawford, CO. We did a very short, but challenging direct approach hike to the bottom of the canyon. The walls are about 1800' tall, so it was very impressive. I hope to come back one day and be able to climb the canyon walls!

We then headed over to Telluride to set up our tent for the Bluegrass Festival then headed over to Ouray for a couple of days. Ouray is a great town and I think one of the most scenic in Colorado. We drove a four wheel trail to Animas Forks, which is a old mining ghost town. It was really cool.
