We left Cortez, Mesa Verde, pinon/juniper forests. Now we’re back in the high country. Spruce/fir, aspen, ponderosa pine; a little higher, tundra. Rio Grande River running right through the camp. This isn’t the big Rio Grande. This is the one a good running leap from the bank would get you about halfway across. Blue sky, nighttime weather in the twenties. Creede Colorado. We’re in the campground five miles out of town.
We don't get any internet out at the campground, but we did find a WiFi signal in town, for the first time ever in Creede. We can't use the internet in the evenings, but I can send and receive when I get in to work each day.
The town of Creede is tucked right up into the mouth of a vertical rock walled canyon. Here is the approach to town from out in the valley.
