Ouray, Colorado

Ouray and the old Mining towns.


We spent quite a bit of time in Ouray. I videoed the town for mom because she likes the area. We ate a a small cafe there and then headed up and over the mountains. On the way from Ouray to Durango is a ghost town. This area is full of old mines.

At one time it was a very very hopping place, then the mines ran out and everyone left.



The above photo is of a ghost town left by the miners.

This is a tired JJ in front of REd Mountain, Colorado. Notice the old mining shaft building over my left shoulder?
