Billy,
I agree, that area of SW Colorado is indeed the most beautiful part of a beautiful state. We had the Jeep out there several years ago and ran several of the easier trails around the Durango/Silverton/Ouray/Telluride area, but the highway drives back to the hotel were equally beautiful. Have wanted to go back and do Black Bear Pass, dropping down into Telluride, but never got back to that area yet. Have a ball!! And Don't Forget The Camera!!
