Wow this is what I was was hoping for! I've now got lots of links and things to check out. I appreciate all the suggestions and advice.

And Busskipper - brown hair, green eyes....haha. I put all of that information in my original post so you guys don't have to ask. I see posts where there is hardly any info given and then it just takes longer to get solid info.

Off to research!

And I bet the DD is the of the Age and Looks that you need an Armed Guard at the door - (Joke)

You have a lot of good advice in this post - padredw Knows Texas and has likely traveled all these routes - his advice on CG's is likely Spot on - I use Wal*Mart in getting here to there, and Boondock often, seldom making reservations except on Summer weekends, so will seldom recommend a CG.

Durango and Aspen will provide relief for the DD - Mesa Verde and Canyon de Chelly will take care of the DS as to your stated wishes.

Alpine Loop and Owl Creek Pass along with the Bells and the Drive on Independence Pass to Aspen should keep you and your Hubby Happy so this might just work - Look for Devils Punch Bowl as a side stop on Independence Pass- if still warm all could take the Jump - usually others there in September - Punch Bowl Images - Quincy's for a Steak or Vegetarian Dinner at an affordable price in Buena Vista - along with K's for lunch.

Arkansas River and Crested Butte just across Cottonwood Pass, along with all the Collegiates and those Trails/Lakes..

Then The San Juan's - as close to heaven as I've ever found. Lake City if Ouray is too Busy/Big.

On and On .. Yes I love Colorado - Wal*Mart in Gunnison to resupply after Buena Vista area........

Sorry,getting excited - as we will likely do this Trip with the Granddaughters, both East and West, this Summer, Oh how I Love Colorado.

Last a link for Ouray - 3 Days in Ouray

Sorry I got carried away again but........
