Day 1 Elevation Vacation…………🦃❤️🥾🏔️

Hello from Ouray, Colorado! A completely new area for me with lots of mountains. The elevation in town is 7800’, so these mountains look huge. I got a surprise with the Manager’s Special deal at the rental car company, A Rubicon Jeep. I am going to take it for a spin shortly on a mountain pass road to get some altitude acclimation started. I am not sure if pics are going post. I will not add a pic on this post, but I will have 2 posts shortly with 1 pic and another post with 2 pics. 🤞🤞🤞
