Sounds like a very nice run, I was wondering if you'd made the trip or not.

Did you also check out Box Canyon Falls right there in Ouray?

Thanks for the report,you brought back many fond memories for me of my time living in abq.one afternoon pulling outta silverton on our war to cedaredge in early august we hit a dusting of snow up on red mntn pass,that made things real interesting for a bit.great post thanks again

We didn't see the falls, but I'm heading back up there in a couple of weeks with my daughter. We are going to ride over Independence pass and then come back on 550.  I'm planning on staying near Ouray on the second night. I'll make a point of looking for it.

As always, great report and beautiful country. What type of tents are you using, I'm planning on making a camping stayover trip. The motorcycle specific tents are quite expensive, but there are others and I am interested in what you use. Thanks

I use a tent I got on sale at Big 5's for $30 and it works great for me. My whole camping kit cost me less than one night at a hotel.

South end of town, easy to miss. I believe it has a small brown Parks & Rec's sign stating Box Canyon Falls. It is a sliight hike or incline to get there, but not miles worth. Entrance fee also.



View from near the falls.

Thanks MrArn, just what I needed to know. Ride Safely

Shame you had a wet ride on 149. Been there, done that 

But this July the sun shone on me.
