We started out on a meandering path towards Durango last night. Our first stop would be a campground near Aspen. We off-roaded the Accord and somehow lucked into a spot where we could throw up the tent long enough to grab a few hours sleep.
This morning, our first stop would be the over photographed Maroon Bells area (seen above). This has to be the most popular photographic area in Colorado, and this is the first time we've ever made it there. We hit it at 6:45 a.m., just missing the really good light but still managing a couple good shots.
Then we headed off to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park which is our destination for this evening. We did a quick 2 mile hike, then headed to Montrose to grab some supplies and beat the 97 degree heat for a bit. Tomorrow morning we're headed to Durango via the Million Dollar Highway, more pics to follow. For now, here are a couple from our hike today.
