Its all good. Mesa Verde is at least a 2 day stay, its a huge park with lots to see. Stay right in the park if you can, long drive in from outside parks. Black Canyon of the Gunnison is awesome but limited campsites. 550 is in my top 3 drives in US (Glacier and Big Sur too) but not for folks who fear mountain roads. Summers are very busy out there. I prefer spring and fall. No crowds and lots of available sites. We usually stay a week or more in Santa Fe at Santa Fe Skies. Lots to see and do. Taos area an easy day trip.
