Colorado - San Juan Mts

COLORADO - SAN JUAN MTS : The mountain part of our 3 week tour of the West ~ Oct 1991(27) images

After the Escalante adventure we moved over to Colorado and meet up with family in Ouray. We did a bit of peak bagging, cragging and an auto tour over one of the high passes. After that we were just about out of time and needed to get back to Denver for our flight home.
