Pretty sure we are going to be in the area on July 4th.
Anyone have opinions about the best show? Telluride, Grand Junction, Durango, Silverton itself, elsewhere?
How about a good spot to set off some little beauties from Wyoming without burning down the forest?

If it isn't too far a drive, silverton certainly has a reputation for being the best fireworks. If you're staying in durango, though, I'd probably go with X-Rock or somewhere on the mesa by Fort Lewis. Watching the fireworks from the summit of X-rock was pretty amazing 2 years ago.

Thanks for the advice.
Saw the Silverton fireworks from a pullout on the road to Molas Pass.
Got into the area late and didn't feel up to dealing with the crowds in town.
A good show.
