Yankee Boy Basin

Ouray, Colorado

September 13, 2016

On a very cold and windy morning, we headed up Yankee Boy Basin.  The popularity of this trail continues to grow with jeeps, tour guides, hikers and atvs.  Rain from the night before made the cascades full.

Near the twin falls, the view shows fresh snow near Stony Mountain and fall tones getting a good start.

A nice hiking trail near Stony Mountain and if it wasn’t so windy, I might have gone further down the trail.

The jeep posing at the height of the trail.  The San Juan Mountains always seem to have their own weather system.  If I keep posting jeep pics, he’ll keep driving me to these wonderful locations.  Good deal.
