I'm planning a trip for June and will need to get from Dolores, CO to Canon City, CO. One option is Hwy 160 through Pagosa Springs. The other is Hwy 50 that has to go over Monarch Pass. I've been on Hwy 50 years ago in both a pickup and a motor cycle and I seem to remember that it gets pretty dicey and driving a class "A" would be a real white knuckle experience. That's not what I'm looking for, let alone what my wife's reaction will be if she is looking down very steep drop offs. So, does anyone have any advice or recommendations on the best route for this?
Thanks, Don
