DALLAS DIVIDE: Mountain Scenery Between Ouray To Telluride! October 23, 2005
Ah, the San Juan Mountains! Here's a mini-pictorial of the scenery during my drive from Ouray to Telluride via Dallas Divide. I took this picture just north of the town of Ridgway.
Some views climbing up the divide going westbound on Highway 62.
I love that middle photo with some autumn colors! :)
Mt. Sneffels is the tallest peak in the range north of Dallas Divide.
There is no official marker for the divide, but it's somewhere very close to the Ouray & San Miguel County line. I'm glad Ouray is a "right to farm" county ... Awesome! :)
Now remember, I took all of these photos right
from the highway. There's obviously a lot more to hike and explore throughout these rugged San Juan Mountains! ;)
One shot of Mt. Wilson as I approached Telluride.
