I wouldn't take a Redwood over 550 south of Ouray. I think if you aren't scared out of your wits your putting others in danger. It's too narrow. And the area that shows 13'9" is a round topped tunnel which I believe means you'll need to drive down the middle AND it's on a blind curve with a sizable dropoff on one side.
I'm currently in Durango until mid September then heading up to Fruita, I plan on taking the scenic and safer route through Cortez.
Take my advise for what it's worth, but I lived in Colorado for 10 years and have travelled some of the most dangerous roads this state has to offer. The biggest issue is the out of state drivers who are either gawking at the scenery on these roads or scared out of their wits that they are stuck on those roads.
