6/1: Throw a round at Baldridge DGC in Montrose then spend the rest of the day at Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP
Good choice on Black Canyon, not a very well known park. I used to go up there all the time to x-country ski when I lived in Montrose. Summertime, too. That canyon is amazing because you really can't see it or even know it's there until you're right on the edge of it, then it's straight drop-offs down to the river. The Painted Wall is the highest sheer cliff in Colorado at 2260 feet. Incredible place, really.
Mesa Verde is also a special place. I lived in Durango for a few years too, and for Breweries I would first recommend Ska Brewing and Steamworks. There's a few others (Durango, Carver's, Animas) so there's no shortage there.
