MY SENIOR ADVENTURES IN DURANGO, COLORADO!

The mountains near Durango

 Driving north on US 550 from Durango, it's pretty flat and straight going the first 10 miles or so. But beautiful mountains on either side, and eventually you start climbing.

The Ox-Bow in the Animas River


Yes that railroad track is for the Durango-Silverton narrow gauge trains (3 roundtrips daily).



Through the windshield, with little traffic I was going pretty slow.



 




I pulled off as the road started to climb, and turned back home for this trip. However I did stop in Honeyville, which I'll share here soon.

Sharing with Skywatch Friday (which runs all week!)
