Yesterday afternoon, after leaving Rifle, we drove into a massive storm system that brought buckets of rain and snow to the higher terrain. Since the entire way to Ouray was socked in we decided to just check out the town in lieu of any sightseeing. While walking back to the Inn the clouds started to lift a bit and unveiled freshly snow capped peaks. Hoping that the skies would clear overnight we made the decision to try and capture the sunrise this morning along the Dallas Divide (highway 62). So leaving early this morning, we headed up the road and were surprised to run into at least 30 other photographers at the bend. Deciding to join the clan we stood for about an hour while the Sun tried its best to show. We then proceeded to drive further West to see what sights it behold.

2-day/1-night Trip Total: 15hrs 8mins of driving 774 miles.
