We picked Telluride to start and might pick somewhere closer to Denver on the way back.

Wise decision on picking Telluride.

Indeed. Posting from Denver airport at the end of my trip. It was pretty crowded but you can get away. We made do with no reserved camping. Rented a Jeep and did the alpine loop. We camped from the car. Imogene and engineer passes are phenomenal.

What's the most scenic route to take from Denver to Telluride. I-70 to Grand Junction is obviously the easiest but is US 285 more scenic?

I would go to grand junction. 285 is meh

+1, unless you plan to take all kinds of detours which would make it much longer. The drive on 70 is pretty cool over the two passes, through Vail and the Canyon.

I found a lot of articles saying 285 to 50 to 550 to Telluride is the best drive to see Colorado.

The million dollar highway from Durango north, heading to Telluride is incredible

Really? I'm real surprised by that. It has two cool parts. First one is Kenosha to FairPlay, but you are seeing the backside of the same mtns you would see from Loveland Pass to Frisco on 70. Second cool part is in BV to Monarch Pass, the Collegiates are cool. Monarch to Montrose has the reservoir past Gunnison I guess.
Both ways are roughly the same time and meet up in Montrose so you get 550 either way. If you are flying in and out through DIA then take one there and one back.

That’s what we’re doing. I’m planning on slow playing it and taking our time to Telluride so I’ll take 285 on the way there. Then I-70 on the way back.

If you really want to see Colorado take independence pass through aspen down to Montrose then over to Telluride. If you don’t mind adding time to your driving
IMO independence pass is better than the million dollar highway.

He could ball all the way out and take 70 to Glenwood. You would see Vail and Loveland Pass, Breckenridge Ski area(from a distance), Copper, Vail, Beaver Creek, Gore Range and Glenwood Canyon. Then head south through Aspen over Independence to Twin Lakes then head to BV. Take Cottonwood over to Taylor reservoir then head west to Crested Butte. From there head NW over Kebler to Paonia then down to Montrose.

I'm going to do something like this. We have all day.

Definitely do it. If you like cliff jumping, stop at Devils Punchbowl outside of Aspen.
Posted on 7/22/20 at 11:29 am to Hogwall Jackson
I'm gonna hop off 70 before the tunnel and take US 6 through Loveland Pass then get back on in Dillon or Frisco.
