A  question for the Colorado locals as to a good scenic route from Rocky Mountain National Park to Gunnison National Forest in mid September? I will end up traveling over to the Million Dollar Highway after Gunnison but just wanted the input of local knowledge of some good routes.

Thanks

Dos... I would probably take this route... scenic and two wheeled friendly.  390 miles.  If you find this is too long, ride parts of it as you make your way.

That would be Zacks BBQ...  Don't tell them if you're a Canuck, they'll make you eat your dessert with a spoon...
