A quote I found about the San Juan Mountains...

“If you should, in your imagination, put together in one small group, perhaps 12 miles square, all the heights and depths, the rugged precipices and polished faces of rock, and all the sharp pinnacles and deeply indented crests, and twenty times the inaccessible summits that both of us have ever seen, you would not have a picture equal to this.”
- W.H. Holmes, describing the San Juan Mountains in 1876.

Last weekend, June 23/24, GuitarX and I took a tour of the San Juan Skyway in southwest Colorado and had an absolute blast.

Instead of post the full trip report here, I will just link to my blog and post a few photos here.

Interactive Map - San Juan Skyway - check this map out...this time, I added photos to some of the markers. Let me know what you think? Is anything missing? What else would you expect to see in a map like this?

What do you get when a Ducati and a Kawasaki ride together...a DucKwak, or is it a Kwak'nDuc?







Pictures only tell a fraction of the story...
