Yankee Boy Basin Album |
Yankee Boy Basin is an 8 mile drive out of Ouray. In July of 2015 the wildflowers were probably as good as it gets. |

We end at Ouray |
After about 5 miles we stop at the Twin Falls |
The road was a typical mountain road which is snowed in all winter and has very little maintenance. |
The road follows a steep canyon with many one lane areas |
