Thanks for sharing the pics from your trip! I was trying to follow your route from your posted map and comparing it to a google earth map. Was that Rt 100 most of the way? I lived in Cheyenne for a year a long time ago but quickly found myself wandering all over the front range starting in Ft. Collins. I've been wanting to go back ever since then ! These pics are making it harder to not just pack up and head back west.

No problem! It was a combination of Forest Service roads and trails, the upper northern section was FS 550 through Whiskey Park and then east on FS 6B to Cowdrey. I have GPS tracks if anyone knows of a good site to host/share them.

Hell, it snowed last night on the mountains above my house! My Dad spends his winters in Hemet, I would really like to make a winter trip out there one day and check out the desert. There's a few places I would like to explore.

Looks like an awesome adventure. I was stationed at Ft Carson back around 2000-2001 and me and some friends had some good times wheeling out there. Someday I would love to move back out there, nothing like living somewhere people go to vacation.

Just got back from the Colorado Toyota Jamboree, and as usual it was quite the weekend! This year the event was being held in Montrose, so there were some new trails in the area to explore. We decided to head down to Ouray and run Black Bear over to Telluride on Thursday, followed by Imogene Pass.

At the end of Imogene the group split up. Aaron and a couple of his friends headed back to the main camp in Montrose, while the rest of us looked for camp. We drove up into the Yankee Boy/Governor basin area and found a spot for the night, there wasn't much to choose from but we found a place that had a little protection from the wind. In the morning we woke to snow on the surrounding peaks, along with a little blowing through camp.

IMG_4759

We packed up and continued our journey up the trail. The snow was getting more intense as we gained elevation, by the time we arrived to the top of Governor Basin the snow was really coming down.

Just as we were starting to head back down the clouds cleared, and we were greeted to some amazing scenery. It was truly breathtaking at times, and we were all left in a sense of awe about our surroundings!

We continued down the trail and headed up to Yankee Basin where we were greeted with more snow, after taking in the views we continued back down the trail and into Ouray. It was still early, so we headed over to Poughkeepsie Gulch.

IMG_4782

Just like earlier in the day, as we gained elevation the snow set in. We climbed up to Hurricane Pass and started back down Corkscrew where we got another break in the weather.

We completed the trail and headed back to the main camp site, where we hung out around the fire for a while. Half way through the night it started raining, and it didn’t stop. That morning the main camp site was super muddy and the tow rigs/trailers were having issues getting out of camp, the weather forecast called for rain all day. I made the decision to leave a day early, and hit a trail or two on the way home.

I settled on Pearl Pass, which is between Crested Butte and Aspen. It’s a trail that’s been on my list for a while but it’s always just a little too far away to run. As I got to the trailhead the storm was starting to catch back up with me, but it was just a light rain. As I started up the trail the fall colors were amazing!

And shortly thereafter I ran into my first issue of the day, I lost front wheel drive. I’ve been having odd issue’s with what I though was my front ARB locker for a while now, but it turns out that it’s actually my ADD actuator or my 4WD computer. Luckily I had my front locker, which meant I had the driver side front wheel when it was locked.

I continued on, the snow got heavier and the trail narrower.

At the summit!

The topography and weather conditions made the area feel very desolate.

I drove for a while, taking in the scenery and the snow. I got out to take some more pictures and to my absolute disbelief the spare tire was missing, along with the carrier!!!

I never heard a thing, and it never touched or hit the rear hatch. I removed the interior rear view mirror a while back, so I couldn’t see the spare unless I totally turned around in my seat. I ended up driving almost a mile back up the trail to find it!
