Well, I have lived in C/Springs, Denver and Brecken Ridge CO. Have been in Grand Junction many many times.... Can you Guy's tell me if they ever got done with all the hwy construction in C/Springs? To the South you can take hwy 115 to canon city then west to hwy 67 (the views are great) and then you end up in cripple creek. from there east to C/S or north to woodland park, then back to C/S, there are so many options in C/S.

Black hawk is fine but you have lots of crazy drivers going to the Casino's at night and One way in and One way out (you may sit in traffic) getting in and out.

In Grand Junction to the west you have Arches NP and at least 2-3 options to get there, 1) hwy 128 Very good two lane twisty roads 2) long way hwy 141 and the hwy 191 is a 4 lane hwy. to the east is Grand Mesa N. Forest hwy 65 east of G.J is a great twisty road to be on.

I hope this helps a little .........
