Silverton, Ouray, …(and almost everything in between), Colorado

It’s been an adventurous last few days! We are parked at the beautiful Riverside KOA in between Durango and Silverton. A very convenient location: we get to drive the Million Dollar Highway everyday! Our spot is on the Animas River alongside an open meadow; surrounded by mountains.

Yesterday we rented a Polaris General from Rock Pirates (highly recommend) in Silverton to explore the Alpine Loop off-road! Wow! We loved it so much we may do it again! We explored ghost towns, mines, extremely sketchy terrain and curves 😅, and a neat little town called Lake City.

The 8 hour adventure began at 7:30am at about 23 degrees…
