Just a heads up... A stretch of US 50 will be closed for improvements between Montrose and Gunnison starting in April 2021.https://highways.dot.gov/sites/fhwa.dot.gov/files/us-50-closure-placard.pdf
The road from Ouray to Silverton has a high pucker factor, but I've often seen gasoline tankers on that section of the highway. As noted in another thread, there's a large fire between Silverton and Durango which has restricted travel south of Silve...
Just a heads up...There's fire about 10 miles north of Durango, so the Durango to Silverton train has been suspended through June 17. Also note that US 550 is closed at night. If you have time, check out the Rim Rocker trail from Montrose to Moab!
