This is the route for the day. This is one of the very best rides in Colorado. The scenery is non-stop unbelievable.


We rode in a clockwise direction on this loop. The first stop was in Delores where we stopped last year also. If there's a bad part of this loop, it's from Durango to here although it's still a nice ride. It only gets better from here.


Somewhere north of Delores. This is a very fun road to ride.


Stopped just south of Rico for a break.


The Delores River along the road just south of Rico.


Downtown Telluride. This little town is surrounded by very high mountains.


Looking north along the main street in Ouray. I didn't take a lot of pictures on this loop because I've ridden it several times and already have a bunch of photos.


Typical scenery between Ouray and Silverton.


This is Red Mountain where a mine still operates.


This is the remains of an old mine entrance from years gone by.


Another shot of some nice scenery along the way.


Downtown Silverton.
