Day 4: Montrose to Salida

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Miles traveled – 157

We stumbled at this local establishment to grab breakfast from a small cafe called Starbucks.

When we planned this trip, we picked one National Park to focus around and it was Black Canyon of the Gunnison. We’d never heard about it but it looked cool. It was breathtaking.

Way steeper than the Grand Canyon.
Mom did not like me bending over the side to take this and had a few words to say to me after.
Anyone need a pressed rat or wart hog?

One thing this trip has taught us is that Colorado likes to switch things up all the time.

Like rolling hills…
Then curvy drive through rocks mixed with construction…
Then a bay of a reservoir filled with chickens???
And always with the chips and salsa and margaritas!

Actually, we just stopped in a cute town called Gunnison for lunch and window shopping.

We were driving highway 50, so we didn’t expect too much mountain road driving. We were wrong.

We were shocked that this was our first runaway truck ramp.

Got into Salina, grabbed dinner and then checked out our hotel.

Mom spotted these deer.
They had a cute little garden.
Smile.

See you tomorrow – ShooKy
