En Route To Denver

Our route: Taos, stop off in Durango to drop unneeded supplies off (hammock, inflatable canoe), quick visit to Grand Junction, and on to Denver.
Travel Note: highway 550 from Durango to Ouray=gorgeous. 1200 feet high mountain passes, occasional Memento Mori
 Monument to snow plow drivers who have died in avalachnes.  They go out solo...that was the sad part to me.
From Grand Junction to Denver take highway 70=stunning. Go through Vail, drive along Colorado river in tight gullies with the mountains jutting up right outside your car window.
