The aspens whiz by as we head into the mountains and our destination town of historic Silverton
Aspens - affected by a large scale forest fire.
Emma regards the snowline with some suspicion. The Whiskey Jacks live up there.
This is probably the high-altitude mark of this roadtrip. Not an all-time high, but close. Very close.

They'd better have an espresso machine in there.

Relics from another era - scattered at random at the Eureka mine.
The remains of the Eureka Mine.
The road back from Eureka.
aaahhh - coffee at Avalanche in Silverton - takes the chill away.
Avalanche Coffee. They also do all their own baking, make awesome pizza and are a nano-brewery. No kidding.
The shady lady is out.
A wind sculpture mingles with tree branches along the Durango riverfront.
"Cypress" - an amazing experience. Greek-Southwest fusion. Sounds weird, but our 6 course tasting menu was perfect.
