I left the western slope of CO 38 years ago. Your description and photos reminded me how much I’ve missed it. I’ve been to the Ouray hot springs many times. Breakfast in Silverton ( I was there for a month as artist in residence in 1985. I’ve been terrified driving Red Mt. Pass/Riverside slide in winter (pre “snow tunnel,”) camped at the top of the pass, watched from town the “controlled” avalanches triggered by a howitzer, and ridden the D & RG.RR. I miss everything about the state.
