[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3557690, member: 7900"] Number of references for Colorado need to be touched on. I know you aren't necessarily interested in Indian ruins, and Mesa Verde was mentioned. It is a dang worthwhile trip to make, but to see most everything, Mesa Verde is a whole day excursion. And, with regards to the Covid pandemic, areas of Mesa Verde are, or were, closed. One couldn't walk down to the cliff dwellings, and that is a highlight of Mesa Verde. Million Dollar Highway was mentioned. I think it is Highway 550 and it IS a BEAUTIFUL drive. If one was considering that and wanted to see more, go on up to Montrose and catch Highway 50 to go east. You would also then be going by the Black Canyon of the Gunnison (just north of Highway 50) and then over Monarch Pass. Highway 50 also goes along the Arkansas River through Canon City. West of Canon City is the turnoff to go to the Royal Gorge Bridge. Beyond Canon City, one would hit I-25 at Pueblo to head back south. I think I may know more about things to see in Colorado than I do for Oklahoma, and that is strange considering most of my life has been spent in Oklahoma. If you wanted to see pictures of some things up there, I've got LOTS of pictures from there on my Smugmug site. [/QUOTE]
