Flagstaff to Durango Colorado
I am taking a trip this summer from North Carolina out west. We have found a lot of great information through friends except for our leg from Flagstaff to Durango. We want to see the Grand Canyon of course and take the scenic highway, but I didn't know if anyone had a particularly great route or other things to do in the area.
Thanks so much!
Very excited first timer
just went from GC to Durango
Boy did I miss out. I wish I'd have seen this thread two weeks ago! Last week, we went from Sedona/Flagstaff to GC to Durango. We just wanted to hit four corners, so our route took us across the painted desert 160 NW. This is probably the quickest route, but not much but dry desert.
We were a little more pressed for time. I don't know where you're going from Durango, but I strongly suggest the route up 550 through the San Juan Mountains to Ouray. What a drive!! (Guard rails would be nice, though!)
Flagstaff to Durango in 1 Day and still See it All?
Hi,
I did a search of Flagstaff to Durango road trips and found this thread. Can anyone tell me this: Can you leave Flagstaff, drive to Durango in one day and still see all that was mentioned in this thread? I a, talking about maybe 14-16 hours of traveling. Thanks!
