No spring trips for me this year so I can get caught up on some things, so I'm looking into some summer trip planning. Figured I'd gauge interest into a SW Colorado trip for this summer... Ouray, Silverton, Telluride, Lake City, etc.
I work a 20 on, 10 off schedule and my days off generally land at the beginning of every month, plus I'm usually at my parents place in Ouray at least once or twice a summer. The best months to go are July through September, October is cool for seeing the colors but can be a gamble on the passes depending on how cold the storms are coming through. 4th of July is always fun but its usually super busy, camping spots can be few and far between and hotel rooms are expensive... especially if you don't plan far enough ahead. There's never a shortage of things to do up there though, holiday weekend or not.
Lets make something happen! I've lived the better part of the past 8 years in Ouray so hit me with any thoughts or questions. I could make a novel of things to do, places to see but if you're familiar with the area you probably already understand. I'm going to leave the dates free to discuss since I probably have more free time than others. Like said, my schedule gives me a decent chunk of time off at the very tail end/ beginning of every month.
