Well my dad and I are flying out to Vegas for a few days after finals, renting a car and then gonna head over for Pagosa Spring for a week.
I've been to Pagosa before, and done all the stuff near by like the Silverton Train, Durango, etc.

What other things should we do on the way? Any routes you would reccomend? Anything else nearby either place we need to check out?

Thanks

What is Pagosa Spring?

Always finish the trip in Vegas

Don't start it off there

What you're proposing is like starting with the cumshot and finishing with foreplay

My route that I'd recommend:

I'd at least go on US 93 over the Hoover Dam, double back to Vegas and take US 95 to Needles, follow old 66 through Topock, Oatman, Kingman, Hackberry, Seligman. Up Arizona 64 to the Grand Canyon, up US 89 and onto US 160 to Tuba City, follow 160 all the way to Pagosa. Detour off US 160 onto US 163. Go through Monument Valley. then cut back down to 160 via 191.

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into locked a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

When I road trip I usually hit up national parks and that sort of thing. What I would do for this trip is head up through Utah. There are a lot of national parks/monuments in southern Utah worth seeing: Zion, Cedar Breaks, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Grand Staircase-Escalante, Arches, and Canyonlands. A lot of these (as well as smaller parks) are on or around UT 12, which is a drive I recommend. Along the way you could cut south to the north rim of the Grand Canyon (make reservations if you plan to camp). The north rim is a lot less touristy than the southern rim.

If you go this route, once you hit Arches and Canyonlands you could continue on into Colorado and hit Colorado National Monument and Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Then cut south on the San Juan Skyway (US 550) down to Durango and over to Pagosa Springs.

Anyway, have fun!
