Seattle Wa. to 4 Corners mid to late Oct.
Seattle Wa. to 4 Corners mid to late Oct. We are considering going in this direction on our way south this year probably through Salt Lake City. Does anyone have any suggestions as to routes/high...

'4 corners' can be taken in the narrow sense of the geographical point and surrounding tourist shops, or the broad sense of the 4 surrounding states.
On one trip I came south from Canada on I15, crossed from Provo to Moab on 6 and 191 (via Price). After some backroads in the Moab area I went south to Hovenweep (nice small scale ruins), through the Navajo and Hopi lands to Albuquerque. Then north to Durango via Santa Fe and Taos. Then through Silverton and Ouray and north.
On another trip I left I15 north of SLC, cut through the mountains to Duschane, and south to Moab. Then SE to Telluride and the San Juan Mtns. From Cortez I took a good county road to Utah (past the turn off to Hovenweep), and across southern Utah (Bullfrog ferry, Capitol Reef, UT12, Bryce, etc. On this trip we had a couple of days of wet weather, due to the remnants of a tropical storm from the Pacific. It kept us off some backroads, but added some nice color to the dessert.
