Falcon Guide’s “Scenic Driving Colorado” is a must-here’s a copy for 1 cent!
BTW, Hwy 141 south of Grand Junction is jaw-dropping. Yes, by all means Black Canyon of the Gunnison, especially the North Rim.
Thanks for the Falcon Guide tip! I just bought it. We purchase the flat-rate shipping from Amazon every year, so shipping is “free” on items purchased directly from Amazon. I bought the $4.01 copy from Amazon with free shipping which turns out to be essentially the same price as the 1 cent copy with shipping. If you use Amazon a lot, the flat-rate shipping is outstanding and their fulfillment is excellent. I know this book will be here in two business days, next Tuesday, so I’ll have time to peruse before we leave.
I’m torn whether to hit the southern part of the state or the northern (Dinosaur Nat’l Monument over to RMNP). We’ll have two more Parent’s Weekends at Boulder after this one, so we can do another route in ‘11 or ‘12.
