A Week in the San Juans - Day 2
Day two I hiked the Sneffels Highline Trail above Telluride. I woke up to dark clouds and it rained off and on all day long. It was pretty cool to watch the clouds roll off the peaks surrounding me. I missed some of the big views from the trail because of cloud cover but overall I got some sweet pic's because of the storm. After 14 miles of hiking I headed East over Ophir Pass... in the rain! A scary and nerve wracking expierience! Luckily I made it over without getting my vehicle stuck or rolling off the side of the mountain! After that I slept near the river between Silverton and Ouray.
Big views along the trail.
Funky tower near the first pass.
A cool waterfall along the trail.
The storm never let up all day.
View from the road between Telluride and Ophir.
The Durango on going toward the pass... soon I will be scared out of my mind.
Whew, I made it over the pass alive. Time for some sleep.

A Week in the San Juans - Day 1
I spent a week in the San Juan Mountains in Colorado. It was my first time out there but won't be my last. I hiked the first few days and canyoneered the last few. Had tons of fun! I took a ton of pictures so I'll split the posts by each day. Here are some pictures of the drive in and from around Telluride.
