Monday morning we headed down Hwy 550 South and towards home...
~
Upon leaving Montrose we saw a mule deer...
Purple Mountains Majesty...
Or Rocky Mountain High...
I asked Fred to take it easy today on our way home. I wanted to stop and see the sights and that if we needed to we could hurry on Tuesday. I was actually shocked when he pulled over in Ouray Colorado, I guess he heard me, Yea!
It was a beautiful little town in the middle of the mountains. We played tourist and did some shopping too...
Ouray from above as we continued South on Hwy 550.
I loved meeting dear friends on this trip, it was a highlight but I'm telling you Hwy 550 was another highlight, sheesh....
Cool a tunnel...
Always taking photos and grateful for all the people that made these roads...
There's the road on the other side of the, of the...Hmm not sure what that is called...a cut in the mountains?
We spotted a water fall...The first thing Fred said was "Hey a Water Creek"...we laughed and laughed...I think the altitude was getting to him...Honey it's a Water Fall.
Michael would not get out of the truck without his V-tech...sigh! He plays it now and then but on this trip he wouldn't put it down! So much for Momma's little nature boy!
Fred just loved this waterfall/river or as he said "Water Creek"!
Across the road were these signs...I so want to go hiking for 2 weeks!
See the road? Just too sweet!
Over another Pass...
Oh I so want to go hiking. Just get away from it all!
Can you imagine waking up every morning to this view, Awesome!
Iris's
See I told you this is all he did, grr...
Fred made a pit stop and came out of the store with this...He thought the bottle was cool but didn't like the vanilla flavoring in the soda.
Wish I knew my peaks...clueless?
Cool....we didn't see any!
Heading down, down, down...
Yikes!!
We were starting to get further South and seeing some storm clouds.
Clouds rolling in...or out?Almost to New Mexico too...Stay tuned for more photos!

Okay! Where do I start!!!! Every photo is so great. That town reminds me a bit of where I love but without the mountains! I miss mountains. I used to live in them and didn't realize how much I missed them till I see all these photos. Maybe I'll find some mountains to move to....
I love that photo with the "morning view" It looks like paradise! All those roads that look like they just belong in those mountains! *sigh*
Okay, I'll shut up now....
I'm so glad you enjoyed Ouray and Red Mountain Pass. Ouray was on my list of what I wanted to share with you, so I'm very happy that you took some time to experience it!! I love it up there! As always, your photos are spectacular!!
Yay for Ouray!!!! One of my fave towns!! Did you shop at the candy store? YUM!!! Laughing at Fred's bottle...Brett has that logo on his truck! Didn't know it would also be on a drink bottle! Stunning photos!!!!
