West Gulch Fire from the Colorado Trail

I haven't had time to recap our quick journey from this pas weekend. Our goal was to ride from Silverton to Buena Vista, but due to the location of the West Gulch fire and our lack of familiarity with the area, we bailed. We spent all day Friday riding parallel to the smoke billowing off of the fire. A couple of times we contemplated heading back to Silverton. We ended up making it through segments 22 and 23 (a little stressful at times) and towards the end of daylight, we took a jeep road into Lake City and spent the night there. I will be adding more to this story later, but the pictures from this day are amazing. Thought I'd share...
