US Trip 5b Missionary Ridge

With time to spare
I thought that I would check out the surrounding area
A short trip up Missionary Ridge





Fall colors have taken over the slopes



Great views of the valley as you climb



Looking north
Towards Silverton







A fire had gone through this area
the trees you see are standing dead



I found this sign at the top of a ridge
When it rains here it REALLY rains



The La Sal mountain range in the back ground
I will climb it tomorrow
but, that is tomorrow
Today I will just enjoy my ride







These skies





Looking over into a new valley







The road back down



Over looking Durango
Where the beer is cold
