Doc ..
We agree with those who offered travel info from Ouray to Telluride.
Google maps sez 50 mi...1 hr 5 min..without delays !!
The hiway trip is a nice drive and not challenging.
The 'over the top' road...Ron has ridden on his dual sport motorcycle a couple times...sez it is not for the faint of heart, but beautiful. I have not made that trip with him, as usually, those off road jaunts are made by the men..3-4 of our fellow m/c enthusiasts. The girls drive to Telluride and meet them there for dinner & a local brew.

In addition...realizing you are still in the planning stages...it is much easier to travel to Ouray area from Pueblo/Salida/Gunnison/Ridgeway than coming up from the south on the million dollar hiway from Durango. We were last through there, using that route, during construction three years ago...it was a little hairy !! We were in our 25' Dorado B+.(our Colorado residents can offer utd info on this situation)
In addition, there is the 'old' road from Silverton to Ouray, which we have done on the offroad m/c .. only ok for jeep/4wheelers/off road motorcycles. This one I have done with Ron...breathtaking views !
By the way...Salida & Buena Vista are fun/interesting towns to visit.
OMG .. there are too many great towns to visit and take in the culture and sites !!

We want to get out there before it gets too cold this year ! Love it.

Happy day ! Kay
