There isn't a whole lot to GJ. No real reason to stay there the whole time, its a pretty unremarkable city compared to the other spots.
I've been to GJ before, it just seems like a very central location to the things that we want to do.

Plus the drive back to there from all the destinations you mentioned is pretty damn boring.
Is it? I remember driving from Moab to CJ being a beautiful drive. And I can't imagine the drive from GJ to Dinosaur not being cool. Same with Black Canyon, and San Juans back to GJ.
I am not trying to be argumentative btw, I appreciate the input. You've made me consider other possibilities.
I'm kind of thinking about cancelling the last 2 or 3 nights in Grand Junction, and getting a place closer to Denver for the sake of convenience.
Not sure if we are going to go any further south than Telluride, but its a possibility. I would love to, but just don't if we'll have the time. I've been through Durango, Cortez, and Mesa Verde before.

around telluride the small towns are really great...ridgway, ouray, silverton, etc. you can easily (very easily) spend 2- 3 days in that area, plus its spectacularly beautiful. telluride itself is cool but the small towns are more fun
black canyon NP is awesome, but its a 1/2 day deal at most...it's pull-offs and views.

I would definitely road trip it and not return to the same place. If the drive back is so great, driving a different route somewhere else should be even better right?
Driving out west is fun for a day or two, but its going to get old very quick. It also gives you a lot less time to mope around the small towns around there.
I get not changing rooms every night thing, but in this instance I think it would be worth it.

You'll have a great time no matter where you stay out there.
The drive through Montrose and Delta is flat with farmland, that will be the bulk of your drive from San Juans and Black Canyon. Not great but could be worse.
You are about 3 hrs to Aspen if that floats your boat.
Highly recommend Colorado Monument in GJ.
Kannah Creek Brewing in GJ is good and Hot Tomato Pizza in Fruita is the second best pizza in the state, the best is Brown Dog in Telluride.
