Looking for an awesome road trip that is rich in history, surrounded by spectacular scenery, and offers exciting outdoor adventures? Then look no further than southwestern Colorado and the San Juan Skyway. This 236-mile adventure is a terrific way for travelers to sample the best of what Colorado has to offer. Travelers along the San Juan Skyway will pass through the historic, mining boomtowns of Ouray and Silverton, have a taste of the “old west” in Durango and Telluride, and then discover ancient Anasazi ruins at Mesa Verde near Cortez at the skyway’s south end. Taking a journey along the San Juan Skyway gives travelers the feeling that they, somehow, have taken a step back in time.
