We finally reached Montrose the largest city near Telluride (about 50 miles away). We decided to stay the night and decompress we had driven about 650 miles the past few days. After a relaxing night we drove to Telluride. Since we didn't have phone service aka GPS I was reading a map. Not so well I might add.
This next stretch of road was the thinnest, scariest, most sheer cliff road I have ever seen. Believe me I've seen my share of mountain roads. We drove all the way to San Juan County past Silverton (an old mining town), to Red pass (that's where I think we were). Fortunately we were able to turn around. The way back was better since we were next to the mountain not the cliff. We found the right turn drove back up the mountain on the right side this time. This road was a lot better drive. I don't know how anyone drives these roads in the winter.
We made it to Doug and Katie's house. The picture is the view from Doug's living room. Isn't it awesome?
