[QUOTE="Snowsled, post: 1240483, member: 25287"] I would also suggest that the SW corner of the state is WELL worth the extra few hours of driving through the beautiful mountains to get here. The painful part of your drive ends in Denver. I moved to the Ouray area over 15 years ago from MN, it is as close to heaven as I have been able to find. If the Last Dollar rd pics excite you, understand that that is one of the last places I send people, nice but FAR from the most spectacular places in the area. The exception being the 3rd week of Sept every year when the Aspens turn up there, spectacular but again, you can do even better. The Jeep roads are fine for the Raptor, the local tour companies run full size trucks all over these trails. Get yourself a trail book and I will give you a list of must see's. There is next to no nightlife in Ouray though, Telluride may be better but most of us are worn out after a day in the mtns and a soak in the hot springs sounds better than any party. Durango to our south through more incredible mtns is probably a good bet for some evening adult fun since it is a college town with a sweet main street area full of bars and restraunts. My advice is to not even think about the Denver area, drive right on through on I-70. I wouldn't stop until at least Glenwood Springs, and only for gas. If you center yourself down south, I know it is further west yet but the Moab desert roads are just a couple of hours away... This is mecca for outdoor fun, let me know when the trip gets closer. Happy to help you have a great time out here. [/QUOTE]
