Colorado trip from August 30 - September 4ish

[cougarzluv]

Just saw your post. I wish I would have posted our road trip to CO on this area of the forum as it seems you're getting lots of replies. I posted our trip on the "Mountain" page looking for other travelers and hardly got a response. Anyways, I highly recommend Ophir Pass, Red Mountain Pass (tour of all the mines), and Last Dollar Road. These were all easy roads and will allow your kids to get out and get wet in some streams if they want. I have a stock 4Runner Trail Edition with OEM tires and I had no problems. Just remember to air down to 20psi or so so your kids aren't shook to death. You can check out my post and see the pictures of when I went in late June.

Is there still a lot of snow up in Ouray? If you haven't purchased it already, you need to grab a copy of Charles Wells' book on CO trails. It is essential and has lots of trails, with their ratings, near Ouray.

Hi, sorry just saw your post. We just headed out of Colorado this afternoon.
We started off in the Northern CO parts and hit the Avon/Vail trails. We met up with some awesome forum 4r guys!

Then we headed down to Ouray where we found some Fj guys. We stayed with them a good portion of the day. We hit Engineer Pass and a few other small trails and did some site seeing of the old mines.

This weekend is the Jeep Summit, so we decided not to stick around for the Jeep fest. Lol.

I am utterly amazed of how the TRD PRO handles stock. The Crawl Control is super awesome and a great bonus. I'm so used to my 12 Fj. Lol.
