I was going to say you mention most of the good spots to go to
already...

I thought Mesa Verde was closed right now though (maybe that was just
last year...) Might want to check with the Park Service to be sure,
before you head up there.

Let's see. The Silverton/Durango Narrow guage Railroad is one thing you
might want to take time for. Well, maybe not this trip, if it is only
for the weekend. I thought Box Canyon Falls (?) was pretty neat. That's
over Ouray/Silverton way, as I recall.
