Texas to Telluride

[t4rman]

I took a quick trip to Telluride before school gets back in session for me. Here some of the photos. If you haven't been I highly recommend that part of the country. There is so much to do within a few miles of the camp site.

Also, check out the blog post my fellow photographer and friend wrote. Danielrouth.com

Thanks! Alta Lakes is the place to camp near telluride. I googled camping in telluride and the first one on the list said 'camp at 11,000 feet' and I didnt have to look any further. It is primitive but has a reliable mountain spring right in the middle. We bring our water purifiers and are good to go. There is a campground right in the valley in telluride too. I have never been there but might give it a try next time.

Looks awesome! My wife and I did a SW CO trip this summer and spent a few days in Telluride, so a few of those pics look familiar. Beautiful area, Im lucky to have it within a few hours of me, I just need to take advantage of it more often.

And, Nice 4Runner, I have a 4th gen as well, and we took it from Telluride over Imogene Pass into Ouray for a few days as well. Great wheeling and sightseeing in that area, Im a photographer myself so it was am amazing photo trip for me

SW CO is one of my favorite places in the country. I have been there 3 times in 2 years and keep finding more cool things to do. I wish I lived that close! It is a solid 15 hours from here.
