Red rocks are a feast for my eyes. Mountains fill my soul.

Today, I loved the drive from Cortez to Ouray. Mountains, trees, streams. Perfect!

In Telluride, we wandered around the historic district before taking the free – and dog-friendly! – gondola up and over the mountain to the Mountain Village. There, we got off the gondola, looked around a bit, and returned to the historic area. The scenery from the gondola was AMAZING!

Lots of water flowing down the mountain!

 

Nanine and Bossa enjoying the gondola ride.  To encourage Bossa to get into the gondola, I went in first, showed him a treat, and rewarded him with it when he was inside the gondola.

 

Approaching the first station – where we did not get off

 

Surprise!  I was focusing on the mountain and another gondola passed just when I clicked the shutter!

 

Approaching the Mountain Village, where we got off and on again

Can you find Addie and Nanine’s rig?

  1. Hej Lisa and Nadine,

    Nice trip so far. I see Bossa loves the gondola. I would get height sickness in the gondola. So i would had to walk to the destination 😀
