    Overlanding with a family of 6

    I would first find the vehicle you like to drive that carries the family and that will get you places you want to go. Next I would buy or build a small trailer to haul the gear.

    Overland Trailers - first-hand experience: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

    I have used a trailer now for 6 years, mostly to just carry gear. With 3 or 4 people in a JKUR or GX470, there is not much room for anything else and those where really long trips to Alaska and the Arctic Ocean.

    Electric Winch. Are they necessary for overlanding/touring?

    I been lucky, in last 9 years I have used my winch 6-7 times, always on someone else. I do consider it as an insurance piece and tool on my truck and I don’t like going places without it. Right now I am without it on the truck, but plan to have a new bumper and it mounted before my big trips.

    Rio Grand Nat. Forest - South San Juan Wilderness

    There are Hotels in Pagosa and in South Fork, you could also VRBO, but last year they will filled up early. If you want to do more off roading, then go up by Lake City and do the Alpine Loop. If the wife likes taking pictures, then the top of Cinnamon Pass has a lot of wild flowers in the summer.
