I made my longest drive of the trip, going from Durango the southwestern corner of Colorado across the southern part of the state on Highway 160 on the way to Pueblo.

There were some cool towns along the way but the most striking vista was Blanco Peak. At more than 14,000 feet, it has the fourth highest summit in the state of Colorado.
