We pulled into Durango, CO a little late so we couldn't see the gorgeous mountains around us until the next day. We headed north and enjoyed taking in the views along the "Million Dollar Highway" between Silverton and Ouray, both tiny towns tucked into the mountains. We highly recommend the drive and the San Juan Mountains are truly breathtaking. We made a quick excursion to check out Telluride and then pulled into Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in time to drive a portion of the South Rim. We didn't know what to expect with the Black Canyon NP but it blew us away. Similar to the Grand Canyon, actually, but it's a relatively new national park with a small number of annual visitors in comparison. We would have loved more time but the sun was going down and we had a long drive ahead of us....
