Knowing what mountains surrounded us was always a challenge. The last photo shows the panorama with our camping spot at the Lizard Head Pass area outside of Telluride. These mountains lit up with the evening sun as long as there wasn't clouds.- but as had lots of days with clouds- or forest fire smoke.
The mountain below could be Vermilion Peak at 13,894-- almost a 14-teener. From my Colorado map, peaks that were also in the area: Grisly Peak, 13,738; Rolling Mountain 13,693 and Sultan Mountain 13,370. We were camped at 10,330 elevation. Since we had been camping at 9 and 10 thousand feet for almost 2 months, the elevation did not cause me major breathing problems until I started up hill. Riding my bike up hill didn't happen- had to walk it up the hill.
Those white spots in the lower right corner of the photo below are some of our rigs. The road getting in was bad and I bent my automatic step that is behind the back tires.
On reviewing earlier posts this one is similar to the August 23 one and I am having a hard time keeping up with this labor intensive process!
