4/18/2012 - Today we left Sleeping Ute Campground, a big casino park, nice park, but about 10 to 12 miles south of Cortez so you have to drive that far to get into town.

Drove over to Durango and then turned north to Montrose. Part of this highway is known as the million dollar highway due to the high per mile. Sure glad to be off that road, very mountainous with sheer drops and no guardrails. Beautiful views if you could get over the dizzying heights. Road is very very curvy with long steep climbs followed by geared down drops to the floor of the canyon. Stopped by Wal-Mart for some food and drinks, calling it a night. Aleta crocheted while I worked a little on the blog.
