CO Hwy 550 - Montrose to Durango
How is this route? According to the trip planner it looks like all mountain driving to me. Anybody familiar with this route? Would you recommend using it with a 34' travel trailer in tow?

We are in the planning stages of a trip next spring, part of that trip is seeing 550, it's been on my wife's bucket list for a while now. We were as close as Montrose 10 years ago and hadn't heard of this route. Now we HAVE to see it. 4 years ago we were in Cortez and drove to Durango and took the train up to Silverton.
Thanks for the link to your pictures Busskipper I wasn't so sure taking our FW on this route was so smart but it really doesn't look that bad. We've been through similar roads before without guard rails. Your pictures remind me of Going to the Sun Road, we did that one twice! (not with the trailer)
Looking forward to this trip. In your opinion is late April early May too early to attempt this route?
