Best route from Durango to Colorado Springs

[Shortest Straw]

We went on this years ago. https://www.colorado.com/trains/georgetown-loop-railroad

It was a beer and brats ride and was a lot of fun.

Re: The 416 Fire killed the trip

We had to cancel our trip to Durango!

We are on a 4 month trip starting from near Atlanta, GA. We had to rearrange some things to by pass Colorado but, was able to do it and we are making our way to Rapid City, SD

I just left Rapid City two days ago...was raining heavily when I rolled!

In Sterling, Colorado now and leaving for Denver in a couple of hours...having some pretty wicked thunder boomers yesterday and today!

The challange is to find a place to stay 4th of July. Camping has gotten so popular as you travel you better have a reserved spot on Holidays unless you are into Boondocking. Many require 2-3 day minimum. We were originally staying in Durango for the 4th and when we had to cancel it was a struggle - we will be at the Colorado City KOA for the 4th.

Ain't that the truth...

I had to call five different RV parks yesterday to find an opening in Denver...and I'm still going to be 40 miles outside of town!
