in our 36' bounder.
Any thoughts on roads to travel?
We're going mid August,September
Thanks!

Roads to travel - Head South to Rt 36 then West to Denver/Rockies - Head to the San Juan's for all of August and September (Durango and Santa Fe could be day trips or saved till next Spring).(Rt 6 - I-70 - Rt 91 - Rt 24 - Rt 285 - Rt 50 - Rt 550 - Rt 62 - Rt 145)

Then Head West after the Temperature is less uncomfortable on your body. Head out through Mesa Verde - to Monument Valley then on to Page and Lake Powell/Antelope Canyon, Catch the North Rim then on up to Zion and Bryce to Rt 12 and the Utah State Parks (Kodachrome - Escalante and Goblins) Capital Reef to Moab/Arches/Canyonlands Out Rt 128 to I-70 slide on up to Dinosaur NM Across to Lake Granby/RMNP then down Rt 9 to I-70 - Rt 6 to Golden then I-70 to rt 36 to South of Chicago and North to home.

If you were to Start in mid August, I am confident, if you HURRY, you will be home in time for Thanksgiving.

Sorry we missed Santa Fe, but now you will have a reason to head out next Spring - Early - and do the whole thing again from the southern approach.

Hope this is of some help.

BOL,
