Colorado Touring Advice


IMHO (in no particular order)
The Good:
1) Highway 145 along the Dolores River from Dolores up
to Naturita and then 141 up to Gateway.
2) US 50 along the Arkansas from Texas Creek over to
Salida.  It continues to be a great road all the way
to Montrose.
3) Highway 149 from South Fork up through Lake City
and on up to Blue Mesa.
4) Highway 92 (Black Mesa) from Blue Mesa up to
Hotchkiss.  From there, either continue on up 133
towards Carbondale or swing to the West and hit 65 and
up over Grand Mesa.
5) I-70 through Glenwood Canyon.
6) Either Highway 7 or 36 from Lyons to Estes Park.
7) Highway 14 West from Ted's Place over to Waldon.
8) US 550 from Durango to Ridgeway.
9) Hihgway 67 from Woodland Park up to Pine Junction.
10) US 34 from Estes Park to Loveland (if in Loveland,
call me).

The Bad/Ugly:
1) The entire I-25 STretch from the Wyoming line to
Trindad.
2) I-70 from Denver East to the Kansas line.
3) Virtually all roads East of I-25.

YMMV
