Black Canyon.
Rufous Hummingbird.
Ridgway State Park
Along the way
Box Canyon Falls Park
In Ouray.
The falls are buried in a dark solid-rock canyon.
The walk to the falls is wet and loud from the roar of the water!
Black swifts nest in crevices on the mossy wet rock faces. We saw some, but small black birds against black rocks in the dark; we didn’t get any good photos of them.
Now try to guess where we are
Right again! Black Canyon of the Gunnison this time.
Over a half-mile vertical drop at its deepest point to the Gunnison River below.
Cimarron
From Yampa River through Craig, and south through Meeker. Turn left at Rifle, right at Glenwood Springs. Right again at Carbondale, through Redstone, past Marble. Over McClure Pass, through Somerset, Paonia and Hotchkiss. Left at Delta, through Olatha, left at Montrose, and here we are at a cabin just outside Cimarron. Pleasant Valley.

We drove through temperatures as low as 50 degrees and as high as 100 today. It’s cool and nice here.

We call it “Evening light through the edge of the tent set up in fresh grass”. 😊
