Durango to Telluride

We stayed at the Echo Basin Resort before heading to Telluride.  We encountered a Bear crossing the road on our way there. 

When he wasn't horsing around, Tucson made a new friend.

From there we passed through Canyon of the Ancients National Monument in the Southwest corner of Colorado.  Remnants of ancient Puebloan homes are scattered across the Monument.

A 1/2 mile trail from the Visitor's Center leads to the Pueblo Escalante

With a view of McPhee Resevoir

We take a ride to see the Lowry Pueblo which is 1,000 years old. 

It has 40 rooms, 8 Kivas and a great Kiva.

From here we drive to Telluride

Snow capped Mountains loom ahead. 


It has a nice little downtown and lots of small Victorian houses.

and some not so small.

The Town had a small campground so we stayed there.  Just us and one other camper.

It had a nice view and a short walk to town.

There are some interesting hikes and drives so we'll get to them tomorrow!


Till Later!

Meanwhile, we keep on Trek'n

Melissa, Gary & Tucson
