Today’s highlight?  Box Cañon Falls in Ouray! 

“Box Cañon Falls, Ouray’s own wonder of the world, is the culmination of Canyon Creek narrowing and spilling thousands of gallons a minute of water over the falls. At this most spectacular geological formation, the 285-foot waterfall plummets into a narrow quartzite canyon. The narrow rock walls tower over the falls by nearly 100 feet!” (https://www.visitouray.com/box-canyon-falls)

Today’s lowlight? The drive from Ouray to Montrose Elks – lots of construction traffic, and Montrose is nowhere near as beautiful as Ouray.  (However, they do have a terrific scoop ice cream shop!)
