Day 185 – San Juan Skyway (Part 2)

Day 185 of Year Long Road Trip Following Scenic Byways in the USA

Animas Pass

We changed the pace a bit today and spent most of our time stopping at overlooks or wandering around old mining towns once I figured out Petey could hardly walk this morning.  I planned a short hike, 0.6 mile, at Animas Overlook about five miles up the dirt road from our campground.  The paved path led us along a nature trail to a view of snow capped mountains and the Animas River below.  I had to coax Petey along and when I left the path in search of cache, he stood staring at me like I was crazy.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
