Now we have to see how to do the trip. Durango seems a good starting point, as one-way-car-rental is possible to it. I will now see to take into account all the good ideas mentioned above like: Sand Dunes, Alligators, Loveland Pass, Rocky Mountain NP, ... and hope in the end we will succeed to see most of it ;-).

Help here is appreciated - expecially to find a trip which is not only upwards ;-)

Are you up to a post count where you can send and receive private messages yet? If so, contact me and I'll help you work out a route. I'm quite familiar with that part of Colorado since my parents and daughter lived there for several years. I've toured most of the rest of the route that you are considering too.
