What to Do In and Around Ridgway, Colorado

Okay, okay. For all who need to know, we went to Ridgway, Colorado for our honeymoon. My husband found this cute little town, so I can't really claim any credit for our getaway, okay other than one hike, which we'll get to. Here's what we did in and around Ridgway:

Ate breakfast at a cute little restaurant called Kate's Place:

Homemade waffles, white cheddar grits, gigantic omelets, and homemade sourdough, yes please!

Visited Box Canyon Falls in Ouray.

It costs $5 per adult to get in, and it's really a walk rather than a hike to the falls, but it's totally worth it.

And from there, you can hike the Ouray Perimeter Trail (of which we did part).

Next we visited Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.

Pictures don't really do the magnitude of these crevices justice.

And praise the Lord, we didn't fall into the creek when we decided to scale down a steep cliff toward it....

The next day, we went to Telluride, Colorado. I take a little credit for the activities here, because this is a location my family frequents. But he drove, so he gets credit for getting us there.

First, we hiked up to Bridal Veil Falls.

And saw a few avalanches along the way.

Then we rode the gondolas, one of my favorite things to do there. (And it's free!)

We ended the afternoon walking around Ridgway. It's a small town, but still worth visiting. We ate most of our meals at our Airbnb, but it was still fun to see what the town had to offer (including a small grocery store).

It was good to get away for a few days (maybe more on that later), but also nice that Ridgway was within driving distance. So for now, that's a (pictorial) wrap of our honeymoon.
