Coming into Ridgeway the storms were really building you could still see the beautiful mountains, but it wasn’t ideal photo taking conditions 
I’m not sure why I didn’t think to do a panorama at this spot, probably just because the clouds were so thick.
We stopped in Ouray at the visitor’s center and right off the parking lot is the Ouray hot springs pool. One time when I lived in Paonia we were down in the pool in Ouray and the Big Horn sheep came down and were grazing right outside the pool fence it was really cool.
Leaving Ouray up Red Mountain Pass the road is scary, if you don’t like heights, it is thin and curvy and it drops off right at the white line with no guard rails, there is no place to stop and take a picture of that. If there was, there may be fewer tourists that may traverse is! Once you get past the scary part though it is gorgeous. Before you get to the scary part there is a couple places to pull over and over look the town. There are a couple waterfalls close to town but it was already getting late enough that we didn’t have time to stop and wander. We had three passes to go over before reaching home. The road between Ouray and Durango over the tree passes is called the Million Dollar Highway. Now if they would add a few thousand worth of guard rails LOL
