Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is near Montrose and a less than two hour drive from Telluride. This is the view from the Warner Point Nature Trail.
I spent the night down in the bottom of the Black Canyon in June of 1998. It was incredible! We didn't sleep well because we thought Sascquatch was throwing boulders down in the water. After asking a Ranger, we were told "Sascquatch" was likely only a beaver uncomfortable with our chosen campsite...lol. Good times.
Originally the location for a summer camp by Ute Indians, then a mining camp called Columbia, Telluride became a town in 1878. This remote town in the San Juan Mountains became part of the National Historic Landmark District in 1964, and later became a destination ski resort. There are many year-round activities to enjoy in the beautiful surroundings of the mountains, and after only one visit to Telluride, it will become a part of you forever.
All of the photographs on this blog were taken by me unless otherwise noted. If you would like to use any of these, please contact me at mtsrool@gmail.com. Thanks!
Welcome to my blog! I live in beautiful Telluride, Colorado with my husband and three kids. I started blogging for family and friends to keep up with what we have been doing and it has kind of turned into an on-line diary for myself also full of my favorite photos.

Awesome! Haven't been there in 35+ years. Need to go on my list.
