Thanks Diana. The RMNP area is a given but we'll have to see about road access. I'd love to visit the Black Canyon. We'll see. Can't do everything but definitely want to do as much as reasonable.

I'll be so tired of shooting dogs by the time the week is over that having some landscapes, wildflowers and wildlife opportunities will be an absolute joy. Hope the boys don't decide to chase bunnies! Which will be the other issue in terms of finding places to stay. Not many of the tourist hotels/cabins are pet-friendly for two 135-lb Rotties.

Photos to come. Thanks for all the advice.

Before you go to Dinosaur NM,, might want to check,, we were there last summer and they said I believe that they were going to be closed this yr for repairs.. We were very dissappointed, they had the building that housed all the bones closed up,(had a crack in the foundation), they put us on a bus and took us to the top and we got to walk a 3/4 of a mile trail back down the hill to the center. Saw a few bones on the way but nothing that really impressed me much. DAve

Thanks for the heads-up Dave. We'll call before we drive.
