Hiking in Telluride



Besides the great science, a wonderful thing about Telluride meetings is the opportunity to do some hiking in the Rocky Mountains. This is my third time here and slowly I am finding some nice hikes that are directly accessible from the town.

I arrived one day early to try and get over jetlag. Yesterday I did the hike described here. It took about 5 hours at a leisurely place. I think Eric Bittner made me aware of this hike. A few of my photos are above. But, today I am a bit sore from all the downhill...

    Hi Ross - I'm down the hall from you at the quantum transport workshop. Perhaps we will get a chance to meet face-to-face later in the week!
