The fact that truckers and thousands of RVers do it every year is a poor argument.
If you or anyone with you has any aversion to heights, I would not recommend the section from Ouray to Durango. Beautiful drive, but it could be a harrowing trip. Narrow road with little to no shoulders, lack of guard rails, and long steep drop-offs and several mountain passes.
From north of Ouray, 62 west to 145 south to Cortez to 160 east to Durango is a little longer, less thrilling, but still beautiful, option.
