We attempted to go to a mining tunnel in the mountains Alpine Tunnel but trail was closed 3 MILES FROM TUNNEL because of rock slide.
We drove along Texas creek toward Texas lakes and stopped at the bridge. Trail turns to 50'' and were a lot wider than that.
We've met a lot of nice people from Texas, they stay around here to stay cool in the summer, it's a great vacation spot.
We drove back into Gunnison for groceries.
We checked out the Town of Crested Butte, there is a ski lodge there and the town was packed with tourist. Had pizza at the BRICK OVEN PIZZARIA there then got the heck out of town..
The elevation in Taylor park is 9544 where we're camped now. I have an app on the phone called My Elevation, how handy. IF there is any internet it works.
