(I'll admit to double checking the map since it's been 30 years.) When my older sister lived in Delta Colorado (around 87-89, IIRC), we'd often go through Alamosa when visiting (in part because her boy friend, now my brother-in-law, was still at Adams State College). So, I've driven the stretch of US-50 from CO-114 to Delta, and on to Grand Junction a few times.
At least in the 80s, it could be a bit narrow and windy (and windy) along the lakes that make up the Curecanti National Recreation Area. But it was a very pretty drive.
Also, I've at least heard (again dating back to the 80s), that Colorado is very serious about "keep right except to pass" especially on three-lane (i.e. two lane uphil, one lane downhill) roads. So, be aware of that on US-50 in the mountains.
