  Beautiful drive with very few cars on the road. The area changed from very dry, barren mountains to lush green as we approached Grand Junction, CO. We had to stop several times just to soak up the surroundings.

  awesome fishing in the area. But use worms or fly's. Higher up the river you go, the better fishing is. Native cutthroats and browns. But watch out for private property

  Drive up Dolores River Canyon, but also farther taking 62 over to Ridgway and down the road to Durango and back to Cortez. Between Ridgeway Ouray is worth the trip by itself, but Silverton is nothing special though the terminal of the train from Durango is there. This is known as the Skyline Drive

  I drove this on a Sunday morning. The road to Telluride is fantastic. I actually liked it better than the drive from Montrose to Durango. Do irt early in he mornng before traffic builds.

  Nice place to visit to get away from the Texas heat wave. Nice backcountry roads to check out with a Jeep or ATV. Be sure to check out the West Dolores River Canyon.

  The Canyon was in its Fall colours so very pretty. We stopped at a restaurant and had a sandwich and coffee ...service and food was good but it was fly season and put ME off the salad bar.

  We did a day of hiking in this area on marked hiking paths. Loved it. You could find paths that were strenuous and some that were easier. Found a nice park to have lunch in as well.

  The drive between Cortez and Telluride is one of the most beautiful in Colorado. There are a couple of really nice RV parks in the Rico area. Absolutely gorgeous canyon.

  Very beautiful. Lots of gorgeous campsites. Great place to take a picnic lunch and just hangout for a while. Fly fishing a favorite in that area. Antique store in town is very nice. A must see!

  This is a very scenic river canyon with ever-changing mountain views. We were lucky enough to be driving it at the peak of aspen viewing, providing interesting patterns of aspens and conifers on the mountain sides.
