Well, I dint think I would be back in Colorado 4 months later after I went, but here were are once again. My second time visiting in the same year, first time visiting during the summer. Our first destination was the Rio Grande National Forest. We spent a couple days camping, driving on Bachelor Loop, and just exploring this beautiful forest. It was amazing and just a whole different experience being able to disconnect from the world, literally. Being in the middle of the forest hours away from civilization, we had no cell signal for over 30 hours. Star gazing here was incredible. I think I saw more shootings here in one night, than I have in my entire life. Hakuna Matata...that was the vibe during my time here. We planned on driving up Stony Pass but unfortunately, the road to reach the summit was still frozen with snow. Nonetheless, we got to experience some amazing views during the drive. We resumed the journey in Telluride, where we prepared to conquer Imogene Pass. Arguably, it's one of the most iconic vehicular trails in Colorado. It's also the second highest drivable pass in Colorado, sitting at just north of 13,000 feet. However, summiting Imogene Pass is anything but easy. The trail is considered moderately difficult and demands a skilled driver with a 4x4, high clearance vehicle. The trail is narrow with vehicles coming from both ends of the trail. Not recommended for folks who are scared of heights. Driver errors can be fatal here. I'll be the first to admit, yes, it was scary but man....the views are the best I've ever seen in Colorado. It took about 3 or so hours to reach the top. They say you can see Utah from up there. Coming back down the mountain heading towards Ouray was also challenging and a bit more technical. From Ouray, we got on the million dollar highway and began the drive to Silverton. I've always wanted to drive on this highway. The views are spectacular. They don't call it the million dollar highway for nothing. This was easily the best trip I've had in Colorado and I'm looking forward to coming back to conquer more trails.
