No to the four corners..just...no

Yes to Mesa Verde, pretty close to Durango, others mentioned getting the tickets they go quick online

Agree that a drive to Ouray from Durango is spectacular and Ouray is my favorite place in America, but that drive on the Million Dollar Highway(US 550) from Silverton to Ouray in March could have a major pucker factor especially for a flatlander. Gave me the sweats on a sunny day in July.

Silverton and Ouray have lots of side by side and jeep rentals a and plenty of trails, or guided jeep trails where a local drives the jeep, but most of those are closed in March I think.

For real. That was my territory for my old job. I’d start in Grand Junction and make my way down to Durango. Then Durango down to Farmington into Santa Fe.

I think the first time I did it the month was January. Talk about a puckering when you look to the right and there is no guard rail and it’s just a straight drop down into the canyon and the shoulder is about 4” wide.
