Ridgway, Colorado: I have always enjoyed the mountains. Having grown up in Los Angeles, it was always a treat to get out of the city and climb, hike and ski. But when I made my first trip to the San Juan Mountains of South Western Colorado, I knew I had found my second home. The San Juan’s are one of America’s greatest (and for many, undiscovered) treasures. Chief Ouray was right, this is a very spiritual place indeed, for the summer morning sky is cool and crisp, the air is clear, a moose calls in the distance, a gentle wind blows only for a moment, and then the sky begins to glow in the west, as a magnificent vision of the grandeur to come makes its presence known.
