Cochetopa Pass

Today we make a return trip to Telluride, Colorado.
 
When we get to Poncha Springs, please resist the temptation to continue over Monarch Pass. We've done Monarch Pass many times and you will be returning to Denver via Monarch Pass on Day Five.
 
Granted, Poncha Pass isn't in the same league as Monarch, but we do have an ace up our sleeves! The road over North Cochetopa Pass after we leave Saguache is not to be missed!! After a beautiful twisty canyon we'll be back on Highway 50 for the short run into Gunnison. After finding fuel and lunch it's back on the road toward Montrose. Head south from Montrose to Ridgway and then over Dallas Divide before the final ascent to Telluride!
 
We'll be staying at the same place we did during a previous Cruise.
