Three weeks in the West, part four

On our own in Ouray County, we chose to spend some time on the Ridgway Riverwalk and to visit Box Canyon Falls. It was the first extended, on-the-ground experience that we'd had in any area since we'd left Illinois. That's why there are so many more photos for this day then the previous three.

The park around Box Canyon featured a native plant walk, but except for a few trees, there wasn't much information about what was what. After some time there, we drove up the Million Dollar Highway between Ouray and Silverton, arrived just as shops began to close, and then drove right back (in a light snow that turned to rain).
