We were invited up and we thought, “yeah, that sounds cool”. Ouray, however, is a six-hour drive from the Yellow Scene offices in Erie, Colorado, so we decided to turn our trip into a winter travel loop. Cue the awesome.
Set out early, at least before noon, and prepare for a five-hour drive. It’s pretty though, for the most part, but beware of cops around the Fairplay area (I speak from experience).
