Hi! Four of my friends and I were planning a trip. We were looking into two possible trips.

1) Driving from home (Missouri) to Colorado Springs, stopping at cool places along the way, staying there a couple of days and then driving back

or

2) Going Bosten way, stopping at cool places, staying there a couple of days et. etc. etc.

Does anyone have any tips or advice for either one of these? Our trip would be mid March. What's the weather like usually in both of these parts? Any suggestions on stopping places? Etc. Etc. Etc

Thanks for any advice/tips/help you could give me!!!
