Telluride

The little Colorado towns we visit just keep getting better. Telluride and many surrounding towns were major gold mining towns. They now mine gold from the many tourists who come here to enjoy the beautiful scenery, skiing, hiking, etc. The altitude of the town is almost 9000 feet, us mature folk can feel the effects of the thin air as we walk, especially uphill.

We took the gondola up the mountain and down the other side to a different town, nice views from there. After the gondola ride we took the MH out to get a closer look at the Bridal Vail Falls, we stopped climbing when a sign said 4 wheel only to the top of the falls, we do have 4 wheels in the rear.



This is looking south on Main Street. The white streak just below the snow patch is Bridal Veil Falls
