After leaving Treasure Falls, at the base of Wolf Creek Pass, we drove on to the pass where the Continental Divide crosses the highway. From there, we drove up a gravel road to an overlook.
We talked to a man who had just ridden his bike all the way from Pagosa Springs, up the mountain, and to this overlook. He asked us to take his picture and then offered to take a picture of us.
Near the overlook was a trailhead for where the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) heads towards Silverton. Of course, we didn't hike nearly as far as Silverton, but we did hike an hour or so down the trial before we turned around.
The wildflowers were beautiful!
A couple of guys on horses passed us on the trail. Not long after that, we began hearing the distant rumble of thunder, and the sky began growing darker. We increased our pace until I had to slow down, but we hurried back to the car as quickly as we could.
