we have pulled the trigger.....have flights and car rental and train tickets.....i would rather do grand junction than colorado springs but mostly like will go back that way to catch another damn train...i want to go to mesa verde there is just too much to do...how is the million dollar highway?
thanks so much for the info and the heads up...son said you need to tip the bud tenders? i am looking at dabs not sure about that...i want to find durbin poison and a few other strains...do they sell seeds?
i have done too many edibles before...got in public and could not function....kept saying let me sit down a minute and i will be good...but could not walk 5 ft ...hubby poured me in the car so i am careful with them
i dont plan to leave the state with any smoke....i will do edibles for the plane trip there and home
hubby said it was due to the million dollar views....lol
You could spend a month traveling around Colorado and only scratch the surface of what to see. Also N Carolina is less than half the size of Colorado so be aware your travel distances and times will pretty much double. Mesa Verde is just over an hour west of Durango but visiting the site is at minimum a half a day trip. Four Corners is a little further down to the southwest and you could literally stand in four states at the same time, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona.........So far our biggest issue..what we don't have time to do..hot springs is a pass..thinking Manitoba springs...and pikes peak...garden of the gods and that wind cave

After having lived in Colorado off and on for a total of 8 years I'm quite familiar with it, still consider Colorado Springs home as well as here in Albuquerque. I actually volunteered at Garden of the Gods for a while. I've driven in 65 degree weather in the valleys only to drive through a blizzard in the mountain passes. Camped in the mountains in the spring where by mid morning we would get a foot of snow then watch most of it melt by mid afternoon, pretty cool.Not only is the state bigger, but the roads going through the mountains take a lot of time as you can't blast down them at 70mph, because if you do, chances are very good you will not make it to your destination, as you will go off the road (and possibly over a cliff). I know from experience that while the distance from Ouray to Durango isn't that far, the road between them on the Million Dollar Highway is full of twists, turns, "s" curves and switchbacks, some of which require you to go no faster than 25 mph.
Four Corners is a pretty cool experience. Yeah, I've stood in 4 different states all at the same time. Kinda neat to be able to say that. Coming out of 4 Corners, in the desert part heading to Durango is when I first saw "phantom rain". It was raining, could see it falling out of the sky, but none of it hit the ground, because it evaporated about 100 to 150 ft. in the air above the ground. Freaky stuff! However................when I started to climb up the mountain going towards Durango, when I got about halfway up, that's when the rain was managing to hit the ground, and it was kinda miserable on my motorcycle for a bit.
yall do know i live in western nc....we have the curves but not that height .....i do appreciate the pro tips however...esp on weather...
verga that is going to be interesting....

We did Garden of The Gods yesterday. It was just spectacular.
We're headed to Cave of The Winds and Bishop Castle today, and then taking the train to the top of Pike's Peak tomorrow...
We do the snake and dragins tail we will be slow and steady
I've found that as a tourist, it's worthwhile to be more selective than you might normally be. While any particular location might be interesting and worthwhile to see, it might not quite that good when considering how many things you have time to see. I know first hand how hard it is to drive past a sign that says LIVE TWO HEADED SNAKE!! , but is that really what you want to remember most about your trip?one decision i made on yalls comments....normally when i rent a car i go with my insurance and ignore the insurance offered by the car rental...not this time..we got the car rental insurance supplement ..my insurance would cover car damage but it does not cover the loss of income that results in civil suits..
and you cant smoke any damn where....mesa verda is more than i expected...driving wise...i just dont think i can do the guided tour ...i am not good with heights of any kind...and it looks rather exposed..
then i got a ad...8 things to do between telluride and ouray...wtf? how can there be 8 things? we need another week my pet sitter would do another week...my empty pockets cant...colorado is tourist money and i am gonna be a tourist
Cave of the Winds is definitely worth the trip. And Bishop Castle is amazing, especially when you consider that it was ONE MAN who built the thing by HIMSELF. When you see it, you will be amazed at what one man with a whole bunch of determination and vision can do. Hopefully there aren't any clouds on top of Pikes Peak when you go there, because the view when it's clear is amazing.
