Roger on the "many options". Suggest I-70 to Grand Junction then 50 SE to
Montrose.
Short route might be continue East on 50 tp Salida perhaps looping down 114
thru Sanguache. Better yet @ Montrose keep going South on 550 to Ridgeway
then Durango or loop east @ Ridgeway on 145 to Cortez. Either way go 160 to
South Fork then back NW on 149 to Gunnison where you can pick up 50 West to
Saiida as above. Or .... Or ....
Enjoy! Wish I could go with you.
