We are filling our VT, NH and ME states right now. Got to Vermont just yesterday in Brattleboro. Next is up to Williamstown, over to Twin Mountain, then on to Bar Harbor and Eastport. Then back to Twin Mountain (were there 20 years ago and loved that area) and then over to South Hero. After that is Lake Placid. My first time ever in Vermont and Maine.

The James Robb campground at Fruita is very good. Excellent facilities - we were there in September. You are close to the town and services, but have views of the must-see Colorado National Monument. Spectacular red rock scenery up there - don't miss it. We enjoyed several days there and visited a few of the wonderful wineries. It's like Napa Valley was in the 1970s - very welcoming at the vineyards for tastings.
We liked the campground at Black Canyon NP.
Agree about Ouray - great little town, 4J campground by the river within walking distance of town.

At Monarch Pass, you need to work at keeping it a slow ride down, as it is easy on some of the straight sections to get up over the safe speeds for the curves.
With my C motorhome, 13,000 pounds and Ford V-10, I had no difficulty maintaining the (reduced) speed limit on the climb. I even had sufficient power reserve on the climb to accelerate back up to the car traffic speed after getting slowed down behind large trucks that were climbing at 15-30 mph.
US-50 is not like the Interstate. There is nobody climbing at 70-80 mph, everybody is down to 45-55, the curves demand that you don't get too far over the speed limit.
