Amanda and I decided to head down to the San Juans for a day trip yesterday. Amanda wanted to drive a trail this trip and since she's never been up Stony Pass she ended up driving that one. Unfortunately, on our way up to the pass, the weather got bad. It started out as some heavier rain, but as we got higher it turned into snow. The tops of all the mountains were out of view behind the clouds. Once we reached Stony Pass, we decided to turn around and head out of the clouds and onto a lower trail.
Next we headed up Cunningham Gulch all the way up to the Highland Mary Mine, but the rain was still coming down pretty good the whole time. Because of the bad weather we decided to head back to Silverton for some lunch.
Still dry out when we started Stony Pass
Clouds rolling in
Came across this SUV with Montana plates

Headed back down from the pass...there's mountains out there somewhere....
