Hi and welcome! As you can tell, I live on the other side of the hill, but DH and I have traveled extensively on the western slope. We Love Beunie, Montrose (ooohh, chocolate factory), Cedaredge and the Grand Mesa, but our fav place is Ouray, for its incredible scenery and off-roading. (think our off roading days are over, but good memories! :D :-D
