For our final San Juan Mountains adventure, we headed to the BEAUTIFUL town of Telluride for a half day of exploring, plus hiked the number one trail we wanted to do while in Colorado, Blue Lakes near Ridgway. It was the BEST way to end our time in the area before moving on to a different part of the state!

    I was raised in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and having been a ski racer and big game hunter my whole life, I have traveled extensively to all the mountains throughout the western US. Without a doubt, the San Juans are my favorite and to me the most impressive. Great video.

    I know how difficult it is to film and talk at the same time with that thin mountain air. You guys do spectacular work and edit to perfection. You spend just the right amount of time on each subject. No need to fast forward through your videos. Thanks for letting us tag along on your journey. Keep them coming!

It looked like the Ghost Town Coffee had gluten free options...nice! Thank you for your wonderful video!
