October Fall Color Trip to Telluride

Upon Larry's return from his business trip to Chile, we loaded up the car and headed for southwest Colorado - destination: Telluride.  We were there July 2013 and talked about returning in the fall - we were just a year late but well worth it! 

We did a hike around this lake - just beautiful!

 Gotta love a stroll in the fall!

 



 

 

Hike to Bear Falls.

 

 

Telluride is about an 8 hour drive from Carefree.  We left on Saturday stopping in Cortez, CO, for the night.  Sunday morning we drove to Durango, Ouray and arrived Telluride mid afternoon - in time to check in at the hotel and walk downtown to a bar to watch the Broncos and Cardinals play!  The next morning we took several drives and did two hikes for a total of 7 miles.  We ended both days with a ride up on the free gondola to Telluride Village enjoying that view and seeing the moon rise over the mountains.  Tuesday we headed back home - what a great long weekend get-away.

 

We continue to very much enjoy nephew Jimmy's Friday night high school football games. 

 

We gathered at friends Allison and Brian's for dinner to celebrate Brian and Mike's birthdays.

 

 

And gosh, we've had a lot of rain!!

 

So life continues to treat me very well!  My last scan shows the drug continues to work.  Gad I'm lucky!
