The more I run around Ouray, the more I realize how immense
and interconnected the trail system is here.
One of my first runs was up to Blue Lakes (still my favorite run to
date) from the Ridgway side. After
looking at maps, I realized you could get there from the Ouray side as well via
Yankee Boy Basin. Here are some pics
from that run. One day (may have to wait
until next summer) I want to run the full loop from my door. I think it would be 25-30 miles. Epic for sure in these mountains.
