I'll have to dig out my journal - we took 145, but when we got to the
junciton instead of going down to COrtez we went to LaSalle Junciton to
head north to Moab. I think it was the year I won the Scrabble tourney
at Tameron (?) maybe 1990? It would have been in May..

The passes in that area were hairy and still solidly packed with stretches of

A four wheel drive SUV gave me just enough "courage" to gingerly creep through
it all and deliver us (wife and I)
to Telluride for breakfast.

There's a Colorado Scenic By-way that follows US 550 from Durango to
Ridgway, CO 45 across to Placerville and then CO 145 down to Cortez. If
you leave Durango in the morning; spend an hour or two wandering around
Silverton at lunchtime; stop here & there to photograph interesting
stuff ... you can get through all the really scary parts in daylight.
The Aspens are beautiful through-out the area ... which, come to think
of it, is probably why they designated it a scenic by-way.
Four to five hours actual drive time, but it takes all day & late into
the night if you want to take any time to enjoy the scenery. Plus the
time I was there they were resurfacing CO 145 between Rico & Dolores
which added considerable delay to the last leg of that journey.
If I ever do it again, I'll plan on visiting only sights in Colorado. I
had two weeks & my itinerary included Alamosa for the Great Sand Dunes,
Durango & Silverton, Mesa Verde, Grand Canyon North Rim & a visit with a
friend in Phoenix, AZ. Too much to see for me to devote as much time to
any of them as they deserved.

Reminds me of my mountain bike route, but with more photographically
inclined trees. Good image.
