Friday, July 2nd: Spend night at the beautiful town of Ouray, CO
Drive from Page, Arizona to Ouray, Co. Plan on reaching Ouray by 8pm, so we need an early start at 7am.
Activities: We stop at Mesa verde for 3hour, then for other half of the day we are doing the million dollar highway.
Ouray is a really cool place to stay because it has the second largest Hot Spring in the world and there are two water falls within walking distance of the town.
This day will be the most hectic day in terms of driving, but might be the most rewarding. We have to leave Page, AZ by 7am sharp (or even earlier) so that we can be at mesa verde by 11:40am (4hrs and 40mins). Spend 2.5 hrs there and leave for the "million dollar highway" around 2pm, (mesa verde to Ouray should take 2hrs 40mins) so that we can do it at a leisurely pace. The idea is to reach Ouray, CO by 8pm so that we can relax in the Hot spring for an hour. The drive from Silvertown (north of durango CO) to Ouray is apparently the most beautiful part of the "million dollar highway.
