10 days, 1337.3 miles Unlike the XMASS-03, this time I set off well equpped. Even before the travel did start, I have bought 1GB CF which can hold up to 606 full-resolution (3.1MP) pictures. Additionally I have bought an pair of snowshoes. December 24, Fri The first day on the road. The idea is(was) to get as far North as possible in 1 day and then slowly go back ( starting with Gunisson National Park). At noon i was in Chama. I had dinner There. I left Chama by 1pm. Next I have to pass several mountain passes. The road was with speed limit of 15mph, icy, u-curved, inclided no guard rails at all, rock on one side, steep clif on the other side oh,and along the way you have warnings NO STOPING/STANDING AVALLACHE IMMINENT. while on my way i saw some spectlar views,but there was absolutely no way to stop the car to take pic (wall on one side of road,cliff on other). Once I was past the passes, there's a town of Ouary, it looks really nice. It has hot springs, which looked amazing surrounded by snow. I was driving until round 5pm when i arrived in Montrose City. I did stop stop there overnight having driven 300 miles. Montrose city is near BLACK CANYON OF GUNISSON NP. Best Western ?
