The SCENIC route would be the "peak to peak Highway (Colorado highway 7 out of Idaho Springs). Quick way would be I-25 north to Highway US 34 through Loveland. Are you looking for speed or scenery?
LOTS of possibilities for the Montrose leg but without knowing what you consider important in a route it's hard to be of much help. I'd probably want to go over Trail Ridge then US 40 over Berthoud Pass to I-70 through the tunnel then head south through Leadville on US 24 to US 50 at Salida, then take 50 west to Montrose. The route is fairly straight forward, scenic yet includes some Interstate to make time and it's not difficult driving.
Good luck / Skip
