My second trip to Durango for railroad inspection was a few weeks ago. I decided to drive again and take in all the sights along the way. This time, I drove along I-70 and visited Glenwood Canyon. This place is probably the coolest place I have ever biked. Four of my favorite things were there: biking, mountains, rivers, and bridges. The bridges were incredible. I was in heaven. In fact, I want my ashes to be spread there. The hike to Hanging Lake was equally astounding even if it didn't have any segmental, post-tensioned bridges along it.

After spending the night in Montrose, I drove down to Ouray to do some hiking. I checked out the ice climbing canyon, Box Canyon waterfall, and the amazing scenery surrounding the town. Afterwards, I took a 4x4 road near Silverton for dirt-lovin' fun.

After all that fun, I drove to Durango to start our railroad bridge inspection. It was tough climbing all over those bridges and walls in such a spectacular scene, but someone has to do it.

On the way home, I enjoyed driving over Wolf Creek Pass and seeing alot of the Sangre De Cristo mountain range.
