Thursday, July 16th – Ouray, CO to Monticello, UT

Sometimes you just don’t wanna get up.

Engineer Pass took a lot out of us all yesterday, so this morning, we decided to sleep in a bit, and catch up on some much-needed rest. Those extra 30 minutes felt really good!

Packing up the bikes this morning was a lot more fun than usual, as we were being buzzed and dive-bombed by – hummingbirds! The little devils were everywhere, and remarkably inquisitive. They were also way too fast for us to get any photos.

Our path out of Ouray, and towards Utah, took us through Telluride, over Lizard Head Pass, and through the Uncompahgre National Forest.

From there, we passed through the San Juan Mountains and the San Juan National Forest, where the views just continued to amaze. Colorado simply has an unending supply of beauty and wonder.

After a gas-stop in Dove Creek, CO, we continued westward, and crossed over the border into Utah, ending in Monticello, Utah for the evening.

Tomorrow – Moab!
