| Taking a shortcut from Buena Vista to Crested Butte...that means you have to go over Cottonwood Pass. It is going to save us 45 min or so...so let's hit the road. |
 |
| Coming near the top of Cottonwood Pass, you can see that guard rail has been dinged a few times or two. The road is paved from Buena Vista to the top of the pass and is really not that bad. |
 |
| After the summit, you are on a very nice gravel road. |
 |
| Twenty miles later, you come to Taylor Lake Reservoir. We went camping here with our kids some 30 years ago; still just as pretty. |
 |
| Leaving the reservoir south, the Taylor River is going to give us some nice company. |
 |
| A lot of camping along this beautiful river.. |
 |
| Even found us a little trail down to the river's edge. |
 |
| Rosehips along the trail |
 |
| Can never get too many shots of a river, right?! |
 |
| Going down the road... |
 |
| We took one shortcut through a valley where they were growing a lot of hay |
 |
| And here we are at Crested Butte...it has grown a lot in 30 years, but it still retains charm. |
 | |
| lots of shopping here and places to eat and places to buy fudge and places to buy t-shirts...but we are leaving to go up Keebler Pass...stay tuned for that... |
