Great Driving Roads in Colorado...

So I figure with living 10 miles from the Rockies and all there have got to be some great driving roads to stretch the 1ers legs...Anyone know any great driving roads?

That's funny you ask that, because I was wondering the same thing this past week. Last weekend I just drove up Boulder Canyon to Nederland because it was a close drive. I may drive up Trail Ridge road in Rocky Mountain National Park this weekend. I'm also temped to drive the San Juan Skyway between Silverton and Ouray.

All very good roads, Poudre Canyon can be a great road. Deer Creek just west of Chatfield Res. is another great road. The road leading up to the top of MT. Evans is also a very fun road.

Deer creek on the weekends can be a bit rediculous with all the road bikers. However, if you're headed up there don't miss stopping here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coney_Island_Hot_Dog_Stand mmmmm...soo good. DON'T EAT IT IN THE CAR! hehehe

Here is a nice route for a Saturday or Sunday quick trip
