2025 Colorado Trip Day 7 - Leave Telluride, Drive South To Durango Then North Back To Gunnison

Packed up, checked out of hotel then walked river walk to get coffee and Bindi exercise before driving south out of Telluride on hwy 145 through Rico down to Durango; a very scenic drive.  From Durango, we drove north on the Million Dollar Highway through Ouray then back through Ridgeway and Montrose to Gunnison again. Stopped for dinner at a steakhouse (cool enough for Bindi to stay in car) before checking into the Inn at Tomichi Village again.
