The Western Slope of Colorado has been getting some rain. This has lowered the temperatures and already the San Juan Mountains have gotten snow. It probably won't stick around for long, but it was a beautiful thing to see.
The stormy skies added to the wintery feel.
I was in the area for business on Friday, and I took a few pictures.
The first picture shows the mountain everyone sees when they come into Ouray from the north. This is Mount Abrams. It's 12,721 feet high.
The pyramid shaped peak in the second picture doesn't have an official name. Locally it's know as Corbett or Chipeta. The two peaks off to the right of this one are called Whitehouse Mountain. They are all over 13,000 feet. Mount Sneffles is just to the right of the peaks in this picture, it's one of the state's 14,000 foot mountains. You can't see it in this picture.
I've hiked to the top of Mt. Sneffles. It's not of the longest peaks to summit, but it's somewhat physically difficult and takes time, because of a snow chute you have to go through. From the top you can see some of the Telluride Ski Area. Of course the view is amazing.
I hope you enjoy these pictures. It was a beautiful day on the road, and I wanted to share it with you.
I've lived on Colorado's Western Slope for over 26 years. I love this area and all it has to offer, and I enjoy sharing what I know about my home. As a REALTOR®, I also love to share my expertise in this area as well. If you need any real estate information for Montrose County, or Delta County, Colorado...please give me a call.
