Due to strong winds and the risk of fire, the longer hiking trails are closed today. However, the short trail through the Colorado River at Rustrel is open. It's an old ochre quarry. A beautiful trail, and you won't have to freeze among the rocks 🌞🥵🙈😅

Today I visited the ocher quarries at Rusterel - Colorado Provencal. Nice little visit. Unfortunately, only the short round was released. But still worth it.
