Colorado Trip: Day 3

The third day of our trip, we left the Aspen area and headed up to Crested Butte.  This may have been my favorite town in Colorado; a perfect gem of a place with preserved Victorian false -fronted buildings and funky boutiques (not a chain in sight), and of course, magnificent mountains on all sides.

 

After Crested Butte we headed to Telluride by way of Black Canyon of the Gunnison, an incredibly steep canyon.

 
How can you not love a town whose public transportation has astrology buses?

On to Black Canyon.
