We landed at Pagosa, refueled and headed north up the Piedra Valley.
We flew past Williams Reservoir and approached the 12,500 ft mountains that blocked our path to Creede. It was 11am and the clouds were just starting to build.
Beautiful airport we considered as an alternative to Elk River. We had it all to ourselves. Multiple touch and go 's
Beautiful area for flying- Lake Chelan, Coeur d'Alene, etc
