Day 15





 We woke up in Ouray to low hanging clouds and close to freezing temperatures. Gingerly we navigated the wet road out of Ouray that had fresh snow right at the edges until it dried out near Silverton. We stopped in Silverton for some much needed hot coffee.

Leaving there and running the Million Dollar Highway we saw aw inspiring views of the snow covered mountains that surrounded us. 

In Durango I took the guys to the rail road museum and then had lunch at the balcony bar and grill. We had tour reservations at Mesa Verde for the Cliff Palace so no time to explore Durango. We made it to the 3:00 tour and I let the guys go it without me. The thought of climbing around the cliff dwelling at 7,000 feet didn’t excite me plus I had done it 3 times over the years.

Andy made it to Cortez before we did so the motel rooms were ready to go when we got there. Brendan had his first Mexican dinner in America.
