Ouray Photos (Imogene and Black Bear)

[indycole]

We're still enjoying our road trip to Colorado and Wyoming but I saw folks posting Ouray photos and didn't want to be late to the party. I may add some landscape and candid shots later but wanted to go ahead and share some trail photos while it's still fresh.

Also, a special thanks to @codyaustin5 for organizing... it was an amazing few days and with a great group. Ouray has been the highlight of our trip thus far and we just wrapped up Yellowstone and the Tetons.

Starting with some group shots from the top of Imogene (Friday) and Black Bear (Saturday).

Just enough room to walk alongside the trucks

Black Bear was amazing and thrilling, but Imogene has always been my favorite trail.
