I think I agree with you 100%. We are in no rush. We'll be coming from a friends house in Colorado Springs to Moab. We will stay there until we feel we're ready to go. At 3 weeks in, we'll just head back from wherever we are. I like it!
So that will pose an entirely different Question - "What Route will you take out and Back?"
Suggested Route As in Colorado it will be a Beautiful - although a little Late - Drive with the Aspen having Turned. With stops in Buena Vista/Collegiates/Leadville/Salida/Twin Lakes/Independence Pass - Then Driving past Gunnison/Crested Butte/Montrose - then possibly Ouray/Telluride/Silverton - before heading over to Moab.
If at all possible try to leave a little earlier - so as to enjoy the
Aspen before they all fall off - you will not regret it.
The trip back will likely bring you back on RT 160 with even more to enjoy on the drive back to the Springs - Cortez/Durango/Pagosa Springs/Great sand Dunes/Salida -
Map back Keep an eye on the weather - as the passes often get just a little October Snow - usually wet and melted shortly after it falls on the Warm Black Highway.
This will be a Great Trip - It would really be nice if you Posted a Few Pic's as you make your way, then we can all enjoy it :)
Best of Luck,
