The passes in that area were hairy and still solidly packed with stretches of snow and some ice. A four wheel drive SUV gave me just enough "courage" to gingerly creep through it all and deliver us (wife and I) to Telluride for breakfast.

If you leave Durango in the morning; spend an hour or two wandering around Silverton at lunchtime; stop here & there to photograph interesting stuff ... you can get through all the really scary parts in daylight. The Aspens are beautiful through-out the area ... which, come to think of it, is probably why they designated it a scenic by-way. Four to five hours actual drive time, but it takes all day & late into the night if you want to take any time to enjoy the scenery. Plus the time I was there they were resurfacing CO 145 between Rico & Dolores which added considerable delay to the last leg of that journey. If I ever do it again, I'll plan on visiting only sights in Colorado. I had two weeks & my itinerary included Alamosa for the Great Sand Dunes, Durango & Silverton, Mesa Verde, Grand Canyon North Rim & a visit with a friend in Phoenix, AZ. Too much to see for me to devote as much time to any of them as they deserved.
