Southwest Colorado Trip - Ben Ridge's Photo Journal- powered by SmugMug

Heather and I took a week off to go see parts of Colorado that we have rarely if ever seen: Ouray, Silverton, Durango, and Crested Butte. We managed to see my parents for two days, get in a great 20 mile backpack trip, hang out in Durango, and then camp around Crested Butte for a couple of days. The scenery is some of the best I have ever seen, period, and the hiking was fantastic.

Ben Ridge > Some Silverton residents stage a shootout on the weekends. The guy on the right won.

Ben Ridge > Not far from our campsite in Silverton was some great hiking, although the we never knew what to expect with the weather.

Ben Ridge > Here we are backtracking after the rain set in and slippery log crosses over large streams were formidable.

Ben Ridge > Breakfast in downtown Silverton, before parting ways with my parents.

I met up with my parents in Ouray, where they had just finished a VW Touareg Rally around the surrounding passes. Ouray sure tucks a town into a narrow gorge surrounded by moutains...
