I have made trips west on I-70 from Denver. About two hours west of Denver, there is a river along the interstate that I caught a couple nice browns and some decent rainbows. Durango, Co has some nice rocks (Purgatory). You can ride the Silverton train, go to Pagosa springs, jeep trails in southern Colorado or New Mexico. You are 30 to 40 minutes away from Navajo Lake and dam. There is a marina next to the dam that rents house boats, etc. If you want some serious fly fishing, check out Abe's store at Navajo Dam, Nm. He has a list of guide and has lodging. It's the San Juan mountain. About 30 minutes farther south is Blanco, Nm. There is a road called Canyon Large or County Road 4450 I believe. You can take that road south about 5 miles to cutter dam, which is mainly catfish, but explore the bushes. You can find artifacts, elk sheds. Just depends on what you want to do.
