Telluride, Ouray, Silverton or Lake City?

[SMKR]

If you had to spend a week in one of the cities mentioned above, which would you spend it in?

[Your Name Here]

silverton or Vale

[SMKR]

I got a 9 days to spend up there in August, and 6 days to spend up there in June- trying to figure out where to go each time. Anyone here up for a road trip?

[YALE]

Cruise around, dude! Those are all within a couple hours of each other.

I went a few years back in the middle of July to buy a motorcycle. I decided instead of a hotel room I would camp. 40degrees at night and 85 during the day in July was prime. Never been to Durango but I hear it is really nice too

Lake City no question. Rent a jeep over the Alpine Loop to Ouray,Silverton or both. Search Engineer or Cinnamon pass. Least busy time and most passes open will be third week of June. Fuck the Hippie town Telluride.

Ouray is GREAT if you want to completely fade to black for some time. Nice town, lots of scenery and drives to go on and remote.

Always cast my vote the same, LC.

Wife is driving up last week of June, I fly up on the 1st of July, spend a week up there, & we all drive back together.

My MIL spends the entire summer up there.

Fishing is great, scenery is amazing, hiking & adventures abound.

Anyone in the market for a log cabin? I think it's going on the market after the summer season.

Oh yeah, and you see cool shit like this:

+1000 spent two weeks camping there once and it was my most memorable trip

There is nothing to do in Ouray but look at beautiful scenery and fuck! And there is nothing wrong with that.

When I go up there I stay in Ouray. I could live there. I really want to start a computer shop there and see if I could make it, kinda dont think many people would use it there.

Have seen this same rig a couple of times up there. Not that you can easily miss it.

Chili, you should do 4th of July up there. It's awesome. Long parade in the morning, games in the park, food/beer/etc, set your blankets/chairs out late afternoon to mark your spot for the fireworks in the evening.

I'd consider Ouray or Silverton as home base, but I'd spend little time in either.
