As I recall from talking to someone at  the museum, the collection is much bigger than the number that can be put on display.  Thus, the vehicles are rotated.

 

I've been there two years  in a row and each time saw numerous different vehicles.

 

As a dedicated motorhead who bought his first V-8 Ford at age 13, I love the museum and could easily spend more than two hours there.

 

But, if you are riding the circuit around the Umcompahgre Plateau, you don't want to linger too long. . . or your compatriots will ride off and leave you.

The food trailer is great and there is a shady place to sit.  The museum is worth the trip I think and you certainly can see everything well in 2 hrs.

You can skip the resort restaurant, there is a food trailer at the gas station just before  you get to the museum and they have great low cost options.  It's also good to support them so it stays in business.  I understand the museum owner underwrites them too for the same reason.

To all:

I managed to book a double queen room for Triumph in the Rockies, 7/20 - 7/22.  If anyone wants to split a room, let me know, cost will be $100 for both nights. 

 

Also looking to do a ride on Saturday 7/21 to Gateway.  Is the car museum there worth seeing?  About how long should I consider, maybe 3 hours there?  Any good places to eat in Gateway?
