Beautiful ride - Surprise!
One suggestion if it fits in to your trip:
Came down from BC to attend the Silverton HU meeting and was very pleasantly surprised by a stretch of road... Highway 139 from Rangely to Ioma in NW Colorado. On my map it looks like a straight line. Hardly. Beautiful pass, quickly changing scenery. Unfortunately, the southern end is at Interstate 70... the only stretch of Interstate I had to do. 139 makes for an excellent route between canyon country around Moab in the south and Dinosaur and Flaming Gorge areas in the north. Highly recommended.
Also, stretch from Silverton to Ouray, Colorado. Fantastic. Would recommend two-lane roads from Ridgeway to Moab through Naturita as opposed to 550 to Grand Junction as well. I wasn't going to take the Naturita route as my map doesn't show 46 connecting to 191 south of Moab, but then my AAA map is an adventure in itself. The road has been there for years obviously. Glad I took a chance.
