I hope you are going to stop/camp and sight see on this trip. If so, this route is skipping most of the grandure of Colorado. If you MUST start at Sante Fe I'd take 84 up to Pagosa Springs. 160 west to Durango. Ride the Durango Silverton train. Than west to Mesa Verde Nat'l Pk. Next west to Delores and north up Rt.145/62 and connect to 550 up to Montrose. Along Rt.145 is a wonderful mountain stream, Forest CG called Cayton on the map. It has ELECTRIC sites! On up to connect 550 at Ridgeway is another great State Pk called Ridgeway. While in this 550 area, I'd SURE camp somewhere and take the toad to drive between Ouray & Silverton. You could go up Rt.550 at Durango, which is also beautiful, but that road scares me.
At Montrose area I'd camp at the Nat'l Pk CG at Black Canyon Gunnison. Beautiful CG with an electric/water loop. Rt.50 east is a very beautiful drive all the way to Canyon City where I would certainly stop to see Royal Gorge.
