Yea to both the D&S and the C&TS. Here is a copy of part of the C&TS description:
"passing through the San Juan Mountains and the scenic Conejos Valley, where it's possible to spot antelope and deer."
The only problems with this description of the C&TS ARE:
1. It does NOT go through the San Juan Mountains
2. It does NOT go through the Conejos Valley
3. The are NO antelope in North America (there are however - Pronghorn)!
Picky, picky, picky me!!
