Yankee Basin Colorado

On our way back from exploring today, we took a four-wheel drive through Yankee Basin outside of Ouray. It was another great drive with amazing views all along the way. There is a stream next to the road that also gave us some nice waterfall opportunities. We read online before we came on the trip that July is the best month to see wildflowers in the mountains. Boy were they right. The mountains were full of colorful flowers on every trail we went on during this trip. There are so many areas to explore around Silverton and Ouray. I can't wait until my next trip back.
