Telluride, CO, August 2022

After a morning of browsing and shopping in Ouray, we traveled over the Dallas Divide to Telluride, another quaint, old Colorado town that is popular with summer tourist and winter skiers.

In route along Colorado 62, I kept an eye out for potential photography sites, hoping to return for sunset photos.  I stopped at one location to get a few shots of the afternoon storm clouds building over the mountain tops.

In Telluride, I only used my iPhone to shoot a few images in the old town.

There must be a story behind this mural painted on the side of a Telluride building, but I don’t know it.

Butch Cassidy reportedly took over $24,000 in the robbery of the San Miguel Valley Bank.  That was quite a bit of money in those days, equivalent to about $857,000 in 2022 money.  Butch should have retired after this haul.

So much for this quick visit to Telluride.

Until next time,

Ken
