    First, where are you staying in Telluride? Not that this should in any way impact your food selection, but if you haven't got some place picked out I can help you find a few places. Are you stopping for the bluegrass festival?

    Thanks for getting back to me. We are not sure about our housing in Telluride, so any suggestions you can give would be great. Also, the plan is to stop for at least one day of the festival

    Staying in telluride during the festival is extremely expensive- also keep in mind that you can't drive in to telluride during the festival (or I think at any other time) unless you are a resident- they force you to park off site. If you're not into staying out super late, go stay in mountain view and take the free gondolas down to the festival. Be aware that you may have issues adjusting to the altitude, also bring plenty of sunscreen.

    The food at the festival is far and away the best festival food i've ever had- and to add to that, the festival is always carbon neutral in that they offset the entire usage of the festival either with carbon vouchers or through wind power, etc.

    Also, if you haven't gotten your late night passes- these are some of the fun shows, get them now, many are already sold out (all the Yonder shows are sold out)

    You didn't state your routes, but if you are into US highways, US 24 to KC, then US 50 thru Kansas is a much more enjoyable ride than the interstates.
