Thank you! They do look unbelievable, don't they? But the colors you see in these mountains are for reals. Its the high mineral content which made them such a mecca for mining and gives them their amazing hues.

Pix 1 and 2 are back on pavement again and heading toward the town of Ouray.

Pic 3 is the Amphitheater Campground that was placed directly above Ouray.

And 4 is a bird's eye view of Ouray that you can get from the campground overlook.
