Today’s journey was a trip through Gunnison and Montrose to Grand Junction with just a few stops on the way. First stop for a photo-op – guess it’s all downhill from here!
Next, a short walk along the Gunnison River via the Neversink trail. A very nice shaded trail with pretty scenery. Perfect to stretch the dogs legs.
And then, the Cimarron Canyon Rail Exhibit. The locomotive, coal tender, boxcar and caboose were restored to look as they would have in 1940 and sit on a trestle built in 1895 which is the last remaining structure of the Denver & Rio Grande narrow gauge railroad in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
After a little drama, recounted elsewhere in this blog, we arrived in Grand Junction. 257 miles today, 2,965 total.
