July Road Trip: Durango, Vallecito, Silverton, Ouray

16 - 17 July 2018

In the morning we headed to Durango, then on to Vallecito, where Heather's family once had a cabin. We were checking them both out as potential sites for the 2020 Ramsey family reunion. Durango was very nice but pricy. Vallecito was at the end of a long, winding mountain road. When reviewing one of the Vallecito sites we realized Heather had been in this particular camp building as a kid, winning at bingo. Weirdly, we took no pictures at either place.

We went back down the mountain road to Durango, spending the night there. In the morning we headed up to Silverton. Heather was not a fan of the road. As we headed into each outside curve, with a drop of hundreds of feet yet little shoulder and no guardrail on her side, Heather would roll up her window (as if that would help).

Silverton was beautiful and interesting, but even I could feel the altitude.






























We kept going over the mountains to Ouray, which was even prettier than  I had remembered. We had lunch at a funky burger place.
