Hidden Jewel of Sneffels Range

I met a local writer at the bar while having dinner in Ouray. He recommended that I check this spot out - that it is the most beautiful spot in the whole San Juan Mountain range. He said not many know about it. It certainly was not only quiet, but truly spectacular after one of the first snowfalls of the fall.
