Driving To Silverton, CO


Because of the not so nice weather in Silverton on Sunday when we arrived by train, we decided that we would drive back one day to explore the town and view the fall colors. Yesterday was that day. It was an awesome drive and the fall colors - well I'm going to let you look at the pictures and see for yourself. We couldn't have picked a better day for the drive - the highs were in the 70's and the skies were clear - beautiful!

After our third year of fulltiming, we finally stayed north long enough to see the leaves change. It seemed that we always had to leave before the change would take place, but this year was the year! We even saw it snowing on the mountain top when we left Silverton. Thankfully that's where it stayed.

I hope you liked the wild west town. Make one of your future stops the one we liked, Monument Valley. You will be very impressed. and go south to the canyon that we visited and take the tour.
We did stay overnight on the Chama train stop at the pass to Colorado. Much to high for our lungs but gorgeous views.

Drive safe and have fun.

Glad you finally made it to Silverton! Looks like the fall colors are fabulous, so it was a great time to go.
