My husband and I are planning on taking the first 2 weeks in August for an RV trip. We will be departing from Denver but that is all we have determined thusfar. Our goal is to not travel more than 400 miles per day and to see many sights along the way. We just got back from Mt. Rushmore 2 days ago, so don't want to head that direction again. We also went to Vegas 2 months ago, so that is out. Ideally, we would go somewhere, stay a day or 2 and then move on to the next location. Can anyone offer suggestions on where to go and what to see?

Cheryl,
If you like to travel in CO you are in luck. Travel down I-25 to Walsenburg and take Hwy 160 west. Travel over to Durango and ride the 148 year old steam railroad up to Silverton and return. Couple things from here, if you like great views of the Sam Juan monuntains travel up Hwy 550 to Silverton, Ouray, Montrose, Delta, and on into Grand Junction with trip back to Denver on I-70. Vail pass is 10,666 feet. Very nice roads to travel on. The road from Silverton to Ouray is over 12,000 feet in places so take your time and drive slow. Camp sites in Silverton and Ouray. Silverton and Ouray are old gold mining towns. Second item, at Durango west on Hwy 160 to Mesa Verde. Tour Mesa them travel west on Hwy 491 to Utah. You have hold bottom end of state full of Canyons to look at. Them travel north back to I-70 and back home. That will take some time to do. You have RV parks all over the place to stop at. You have so much to look at in CO. You may wish to travel down I-25 into NM. Santa Fe and Albuquerque are nice places to visit also. We like CO and plan a trip back soon. Have fun on the road! -------------------- John
