Hi Minotaur, excellent question. Your list is wonderful.

I only had one related to this chase: I had never been to the USAFA and adjacent Rampart Range despite it being a short hour-ish drive from home.  I've been outdoors all over my home state of CO but somehow missed the USAFA!

Here are only a few to start with...

Colorado:

Telluride
Ouray
Million Dollar Highway
Gunnison
Marble
Bear Creek
Engineer Pass
Silverton
Bighorn area

Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad

Renting a jeep and taking the trails in the Uncompahgre National Forest. That's a bucket list item I highly recommend for anyone!

New Mexico:

Red River
Brazos
Chama River
Eagle Nest
Cimarron
Apache Pass
Wheeler Peak
Valles Caldera (especially before it burned)
Jemez Springs


Anywhere and everywhere in the Rockies!!

There wasn't anywhere in CO or NM where we traveled that wasn't amazingly beautiful. We both love the mountains and geology. We got to see places we likely would not have seen if it were not for TTOTC.
