Good morning from Gunnison! We are right next to the Gunnison River
There is a small trail that we're going to do...
We are getting into the canyon... beautiful views from what i can see...
and we're going to take you guys along
Today we're going to do the last dollar road
an alternative to the paved highway when you're traveling between...
Ridgway and Telluride
But first we're going to make a stop to take a look to the Gunnison river
The Gunnison river was named after John Williams Gunnison
He was an American military officer, but also an explorer
He was looking for a path to build the railroad
connecting the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans
but, he never got to build the railroad...
he was killed in 1853, by Indians, while he was mapping the Utah territory
let's go down there!
crystal clear water...
This is definitely an amazing canyon... The Gunnison river it's beautiful!
the water is crystal clear
sadly we got to keep going, but this area over here is beautiful to explore
uhm... apparently this trail here it goes all the way down river
But... maybe in another time we'll come back and do this trail
Oh, wow! i didn't count that many steps on the way down...
let's go to the top to see the view!
oh wow! oh my dear!
What a beautiful view !
This is truly an amazing place...
we had a entire view almost 360 degrees here...
Wow! Last Dollar Rd...
You cannot miss it, you gotta come!
Perfect spot to have lunch! With this view...

And that was the end of the Last Dollar road
it was a beautiful mountain pass
the sign at the beginning says...
4 wheel drive.. But I think you can do it with a 2 wheel drive
just make sure you don't come in a rainy day
because it will be slippery...
And also make sure you have ground clearance
