Tentatively, we were going to stay in Delta, hit 92 and then 149, and try to get to Raton, about 400ish miles, but through mountains. Is that distance doable with all the curves? 400 mountain miles is not like 400 hwy miles. I am still trying to get him to make it an additional day. You have confirmed my thoughts on that loop.
In your opinion, would staying in Durango two days warrant possibly missing hwy 92 and 149?
