It's on my calendar. P&D are coming out in June and we are trying to plan a road trip to Mesa Verde during their time here.

The drive from Denver is about 8.5 hours. And, to throw a wrench in everything, we'd probably leave Sunday or Monday and I would have to be back by Wed afternoon. SO. Carrie and you other Colorado travelers, your input is welcome. I am thinking we should drive through Montrose, maybe stay near Durango. If we left mid-morning Sunday, we could stop in Montrose and arrive in Durango before dark. Then, take in Mesa Verde the next day, stay another night and make our way back Tues. I'm just wondering what else there is to see on the way. Telluride is gorgeous--we could stop and shop there (by "shop", I mean look for celebrities). What do you think?

Wow - I think this is the first time I have ever gotten a shout-out by name in a blog post. Woohoo!
That sounds like a lovely trip, though rushed (it will be like our trips to Idaho Springs for pizza in college - get in the car, drive for several hours, get out, get back in the car.) I actually haven't spent that much time in that corner of the state; the only other thing that I can think of that you might want to consider is a stop at the hot springs in Pagosa Springs on your way back home. Then you could drive through the San Luis Valley. And, now I'm jealous.
I think you've been referred to, but maybe we should add you as a tagline hahahahaha
I bet P would be up for hot springs--D??
Don't be jealous--Colorado is here anytime you want to visit!! Did I tell you I have a guest bedroom??
My vote is for Telluride. But since we'd probably get there later on Sunday and everything of interest might be closed maybe we'd have to stay a little while there on Monday morning?
