Google has it at 7 hrs flat from our hotel in Durango to our hotel in Denver via HW550 to Montrose, HW50 to Poncha Springs and HW285 through the South Park to Denver. While that is a hefty drive, we are both young aren't concerned about it. I am not looking for long stops but at 10 minute excursion to see something is worth it. So far my list is:
1. Ridgway Railway Museum
2. Marrow Point Damn
3. 278 in Cimarron (it isn't back on the bridge yet, is it?)
4. Curecanti Needle
5. 268 in Gunnison
6. The roundhouse in Como
7. Keep my eyes open over Marshall / Monarch pass and through Como and Kenosha
We will be basing out of Denver for the next few days and the Georgetown Loop is on the list (as is the CRRM) as well as Rocky Mountain National Park and Colorado Springs.
This is already quite a list!
