Well today was filled with yet more stunning mountain views. I drove for a few hours heading west to reach Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park (what a name!) This was reminiscent of the Grand Canyon except darker rock and not as wide although still pretty deep and vast!In the afternoon I continued my journey west and a little south to Ouray and then on to Silverton. This is a roadtrip that all budding travellers should make. The road is narrow and wedged between towering mountains and sheer drops into deep canyons. It has a rich mining history so there are old mine shafts dotting the mountainside. It was by one of these that I camped the night.

Hello Morwenna, It looks wonderful. I am very envious. Did you happen to notice any Hopi indians? I have a book "Blue Highways" written by "Willam Least-Heat-Moon", about driving through the USA, which sounds wonderful. The Hopis are somewhere in that area i think, near the Colorado, and they grow "blue corn" He describes a "blue-grey tube" of the stuff with "less substance than butterfly wings". Don
