Howdy again everyone!! I’m writing to you from my dining table looking out the window from our RV at our very favorite spot ever, Priest Gulch Campground, near Telluride. We arrived a couple of days ago for a 6 week (!!) stay. We are beyond excited to be lucky enough to grab a spot here for 6 whole weeks. But that’s for the next post! We recently spent a few weeks in the Ridgeway\/Ouray area and I want to share that with you for today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We really like this area, we’ve been a couple of times before. Big mountains, lots of hiking and a couple of cute mountain towns. Perfect. We stayed in two places here – one was a KOA, and one was the Ridgeway State Park. We had not stayed at the KOA here before – hands down we like the State Park better, and it’s half the cost. But we took advantage of the KOA jeep rental for another hiking adventure. I mentioned I was learning more about some of the “bigger” hikes in southwest Colorado, and I’m learning you just can’t get to many of the “big” hikes without some type of off road vehicle. So we rented another jeep and hiked Wetterhorn Basin. Spectacular and totally worth the jeep rental. And – we met some new friends – Chris and Al, from Colorado Springs. They were stopped at the point of the road to the trailhead that you just can’t go past unless you have an off road vehicle (they were in a regular SUV). We stopped and asked if they’d like a ride the rest of the way to the trailhead. They squeezed into the backseat of the jeep along with Gerry – and so we hiked together for the day. Was great meeting new folks and sharing the day. We’re looking forward to visiting them in Colorado Springs later this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Ridgeway and Ouray area. We’ll definitely be back. I have tons of pictures and a few videos from our time in the area. I think they speak for themselves, so I’ll keep this extra short and let you enjoy the scenery!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
