If you heading around Grand Junction, check out the Black Gorge of the 
Gunnison. Telluride is, of course, fantastic, so bring a camera. Ouray 
(pronounced youray) and its hot springs is cool (go to the Box Canyon.) The 
Million Dollar highway (over Red Mountain pass) will take you down to 
Silverton. I didn't do the Silverton Narrow Guage Railroad trip, but I'd 
recommend it anyway.
