Southwest Colorado

Four Corners Monument where New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Arizona meet. This site is on Navajo Indian land and is way out in the desert in the middle of nowhere. Fred couldn't believe we drove this far but so did a lot of other people. Been there, done that.




We also drove from Dolores where we are camping to Telluride. Beautiful drive through valleys along the Dolores River and up through a mountain pass. Telluride was busy as people are arriving for Blues and Brews Festival this weekend. Tenters were setting up everywhere and there didn't seem to be any parking left. Glad we came before all of that started. We took a
couple of 4-wheel drives while there---one up to Bridal Veil Falls. The other up to an alpine lake--started raining and got really cold. We started out in the AM at 62 and ended up by mid afternoon at 46. On the way home, we went through another hail-sleet storm. Colorado has the weirdest weather.
