On top of the world, yo. The photo above was taken around Imogene Pass, elevation - 13,114 feet. The drive, courtesy of Telluride Outside, was on a one-lane road, sometimes only the width of the truck itself, with steep drop-offs. It was a white-knuckle drive, but very well worth it. The rest of the day, we relaxed, swam, ate. Tomorrow, we come back home. Boooo!
Today we went to Trout Lake. We caught nothing. Ate lunch there. Lovely.
Then we went back to town and hit the park, which has a pond and a river that runs by. Zoe and I caught two fish in the pond.
Then we explored what was at the end of the road, east, past Telluride, because it ends on the map. Plus, you can see a waterfall from town (picture from part II), so we were curious how far you could get to it. Turns out there are two falls. The main one called, Bridal Veil Falls (picture above). We didn't take the one lane road up, but did get some good pictures.
Tomorrow we're doing a 4x4 excursion.
Today we didn't do a whole lot but settle in. We took the Gondola, which is a form of public transportation here, to about halfway up the main mountain. Took in some scenery, snapped some pictures, and hopped back on the Gondola to the town of Telluride. There we visited a stream, ate lunch, and then went back to take a nap, which didn't happen. Zoe was too wound up, so we went swimming. For dinner, we went back to Telluride, but Zoe crashed on the way there. Probably because she barely got any sleep the first night in. Tomorrow - fishing.
