The 6+hour drive from Sandy, Utah to Telluride was exhilerating. We left the snow capped valley of Utah through Soldier Summit, where rock formations stood like soldiers along the road sides. Along the way we ventured through old mining towns and crossed a desert of dunes with ghost-like mountains.
As we reached Moab, Utah, we weaved our way through massive brillant red rock formations with snowy mountains as a backdrop. The lesser traveled two lane route into Colorado was harrowing at times but A. Paul expertly weaved the car through one ess curve after another, marked with signage never seen before on our travels. 
Throughout the drive we witnessed the landscape and the wildlife it supports coming to life and enjoying the first fruits of spring. Our arrival to Telluride at dusk was greeted by the sight of a fox on its early evening hunt. Tomorrow, we explore the town and will assess the upcoming weather for any needed to changes in our driving itinerary. We hope you all had a great St. Paddy Day and enjoy the visual journey of the day below.
