    From quirky art and a funky scene in Pueblo to the wild west and best-of-the-outdoors Durango this route has you covered. You'll visit nature preserves, mountain trails and discover archeological formations along the way while you explore these mountain roads.
    All that hiking will leave you with a big appetite but don't worry, I've scouted out the best food options around. Of course, there are convenient charging stations so you never have to worry about your electric vehicle.
    While this route can be done year-round, the sites are best seen from late spring to early autumn. Always check weather conditions before setting out and be prepared for fast-moving mountain storms.
