This evening we're in Montrose, Colorado, holing up at a Holiday Inn Express. There's not much to say about Montrose.... It's a crossroads town in western Colorado... with a Holiday Inn Express. 🤣

As enjoyable as our hike at Devil's Kitchen this morning was, it  was not "it" for the day. Not by a long shot! From there we drove to Telluride, where we plan to do several hikes over the next few days, including at least one later this afternoon ( Read more... )
