Shooting Colorado is a Joy!
Every
season in Western Colorado offers challenges as well as great visionary
delights. Even in the dead of Winter you have a variety of Photo Ops that
are rivaled by few locations.
Last Sunday, my husband Ron and I traveled about 30 miles along Highway 550 from our home in Montrose, CO to the City of Ouray, called America's Little Switzerland. Ouray is a unique and beautiful setting any time of the year and is really a tourist mecca nestled in the wonderful San Juan Mountains. It has great restaurants, pastry and sandwich shops as well as one of a kind stores.

It
was February 12th and our target was the Ouray Ice Park, home of the Annual Ice
Climbing Festival and Competition in January. Although the competition
was well over, there were still lots of climbers and many young students just
learning the required skills.
It
was a breathtakingly beautiful day, overcast and chilly, but well worth the
trek. Sparkling ice fields and dramatic icicles were the highlights of
the day.
See this Mapquest map to find out how to get there.
You'll
be happy you visited Ouray no matter what time of the year you go!
