Re: Map Red Mountain to Ouray narrow gage

Thank you for your response. I appreciate your comments regarding the grade of the ROW.
I own a copy of Rainbow Route. The map in the book is not as detailed as the map in my original post.
We are seeking a map that is the equivalent of a 1:10,000 topo map. Current topo maps do not show the abandoned ROW.
I sent a message to Don Paulson seeking detail on the Silverton Railroad - day hike at Red Mountain. He has not responded. My friends in Ridgway are unable to contact him.
You state, "The hike is led a couple of more times during the summer." Attached is a copy of the Ridgway Museum calendar. I am unable to find any scheduled dates for the hike other than the September dates. I would appreciate it if you could provide me those dates.
Any photos of that ROW or further descriptions would be much appreciated.
