[QUOTE=KoalaCowboy;4424468]FB4447,
You're referring to Manitou Springs at the base of Pikes Peak. Lots of run stuff around; you might also want to drive out to Cripple Creek which is ~45 minutes away. Garden of the Gods is cool, but not an all day afair (IMHO).


US-24 West to US-285 South (to Poncha Springs). At Poncha Springs, take US-50 West to Montrose. From Montrose, take US-550 South to Durango. This will take you down the "Million Dollar Highway" (google that) and I promise you will enjoy that drive!!

yeah there was something south of manitou that we wanted to see but i forget at this time. and actually the route that you said we are going to take that on the way back from arizona....if you have any other places to see let me know.

 

I left Page, Az. at daylight one morning and toured the south rim, then on to Kingman, Az. It was a full days trip. From there to Hoover Dam, Vegas, to Mesquite, Az. Then to Zion NP and on to Kanab, to north rim, which we liked better. Damn near froze leaving north rim back to Kanab because we left all gear in motel room. Temp difference of 50 dgs F. Also the ride from Cortez to Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Montrose over Red Mountain is as good as it gets. Be prepared for Temps from freezing to over 100 dgs F. The Escalante, Monument Valley and Moab are great and scenic rides in this general area. Ride safe.

Did that trip last year and you will love it. Like they said a lot of good rides around there. You need to stop in at Antelope Canyon.
