If you do go as far as Montrose continue to Telluride on rt145 then continue southward to Priest Gulch Campground it's an awesome trip, a bit steep in some places but very doable. The mountains along Rt145 thru Telluride are truly breathtaking! There is also a nice campgrounds in Delores and Cortez isn't that far away. If you go that way you can return thru Durango and take Rt 160 thru Wolf Creek Pass it is quite the trip and the mountains are awesome! July and August are great months to visit the area, June can have snow in the passes as well as September. Happy Rving :)
