Red Mountain Pass: Ouray, CO

Red Mountain Pass: Ouray, CO

posted on September 11, 2018

Taking a few days to acclimate to the altitude…

One of the effects of high altitude is light-headed dizziness. Driving on narrow, rugged roads that are barely clinging on to the side of a mountain at 11,000 feet isn’t advised. So today, Ruby Jean and I decided to take an easy (non-technical) drive up Brown Mountain.

Even so, the views were spectacular.

Along the way, I found dispersed campsites — even near the top. I stopped and asked someone about them and guess what? He lives in Centerville, Ohio!

So, sitting high up in the San Juan Mountains, we had a strange (but fun!) chat about Bill’s Donuts and Marion’s Pizza.

Small world.
