Unaweep / Tabeguache Byway, Colorado
|
|
After Naturita, CO Rte. 141 turns south, while the byway continues along Rte. 145. |
From Naturita to Norwood, the byway cuts through mostly flat farmland. There's not a lot worth stopping for, until you reach the San Miguel River Canyon.
Rte. 145 drops quickly down the side of the canyon to the river's edge. Several turnouts along the steep grade provide a chance to take in the view.
You will find a couple of picnic areas and a raft launching area after you reach the bottom of the canyon. The river wasn't very impressive under cloudy skies.

If you'd like to travel counter-clockwise around the San Juan Skyway, you can turn left onto CO Rte. 62 at Placerville. The town of Ridgway is just a few miles away, then you could travel south on US Rte. 550 to Ouray and Silverton. Our route, instead, will continue on Rte. 145 to Telluride, then south to Cortez and Durango. Silverton and Ouray will follow, on Day 6. |
