Sarah and I spent our 2023 in Colorado. It was a long drive from Austin, but it was about 20 degrees cooler in Colorado. It took two days to drive there and 2 days to drive back.
We started off with a trip on the Durango and Silverton Railroad. Some of the photos taken on the train will be blurry since we were being thrown around in the train car. It was extremely difficult to walk because the care was tilting side to side and was lurching forward and backward. We spent two nights in Durango in order to take the train.
We spent three nights in Ouray on Labor Day weekend.
Sarah found a great place to go that neither of us had heard of: Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. It is about an hour's drive north of Ouray.
We visited Box Cañon Falls Park and Nature Center in Ouray.
Finally, we quickly visited a small local park in Ouray: Cascade Falls Park. But I was too lazy to hike to the waterfall.
