You can find some great places on Mount Taylor just outside of the town of Grants along I40. If you head south from Grants through the El Malpais and El Morro National Monument, there are some beautiful areas to explore. If you wait until AZ, you will either have to veer southwest from Holbrook...

Agreed with most of the comments already - but the one that really irks me is trash, piles of poo and TP. C'mon people! Dig a cat-hole and bury it at least. Better yet, but one of those cool back-county toilet seats with the chem-bag to poo in and pack it out. OK, I'll step down from the soapbox...

Agreed with heading south out of Grand Junction on Hwy 50/550 through Ridgway/Ouray/Silverton/Durango. This is a very scenic drive and you can hit some of the famous trails around Ouray and Silverton if you have time. If you stay with the Moab route and come down from Cortez - do not go all the...

Weekend trip to Arizona with some great folks to travel the Rim Road and a little bit of the Arizona BDR. Amazing scenery. Most of the road was very smooth forest road that gets a lot of traffic, but parts of the BDR were slow-going and rocky.

Hit the Goose Lake Trail out of Red River. There is a place to camp at the top, but it does get a lot of pressure, certainly on a holiday weekend. But most of the traffic are day-trippers on side-by-side rigs.

That looks amazing.

No offense to your idea, but in my opinion if you are going to tow a trailer of similar size to the photo you posted, you might as well make it a sleeping platform as well. I agree with @Road that most teardrop platforms with a rear galley are very functional. I have an off-road teadrop and the...

Following this thread. We visited BBNP last spring (stayed at the Lodge). It is a beautiful and special place. I'd like to explore the backcountry a bit. I was looking at the map and it looks like you could get out from the crowds for a few days. I'd be interested in the routes you take. Keep us...

North Rim @ Kelly Point. Another great location. A bit rough getting there in that the trail through the trees is tight and some of the two-track (at least last summer) had some washout. Again, permit needed, but well-worth the effort. Fire Point was also amazing, but the end of the road and out...

I did something similar with the Bayou griddle from Amz. I adapted it a bit different and used the shorter legs that came with the disc. I already had the Coleman burner, so I am into it for around $30. Cooked some eggs and potatoes on it so far, but haven't used it in the field yet. Still, I'd...

We tend to hit the Colorado high country in the fall. There is a risk of some bad weather, but we watch the forecasts and plan accordingly. We tend to aim for mid-to-late September.

We've done that pass several times. It is spectacular and a fun drive.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to wet-a-fly. I did see quite a few rises and it looked really promising. I would like to go back just for the fishing.

Glad you made it safe and had the place to yourself. We were admiring your rigs as you passed. We were with some folks and stayed in Red River so no camping for this trip. I have an off-road teardrop trailer and was thinking I may attempt to bring it up to the lake in the future. The road had...

@ fixiecory So, you passed us on the way up while we were coming down. I remember your rigs. We were pulled over to let you pass - 2 T4Rs. We just went up for a day trip. Beautiful location, although it was rather crowded at the top. I was also a bit disappointed in the trash and toilet paper...

We spent a fun weekend in Red River (NM) and took a day trip up to Goose Lake. It was about 7 miles off road on a moderately challenging trail to get to this lake, located in the mountains at 11,500-foot elevation. At the top it was a bit crowded with lots of day-trippers in UTVs. Unfortunately...

Good to hear from you and sounds like you have a lot going on. Yes, it was us at the Mimbres store earlier in the Spring. We loved trekking through the Gila and plan to do it again. I will reach out when we do. Stay safe and healthy. See you down the road.

Hey David, welcome. To keep up with what's happening in the 505 - go to the Overland New Mexico and the Desert Valley Overlanders pages on Facebook. Both have great groups of folks who are like minded for outdoor adventure.

Hey there fellow '505-er' welcome to OB. In addition to the Overland New Mexico group, you could also check out Desert Valley Overlanders group (both on Facebook). Both have a great bunch of folks all focused on outdoor activities. You can get a lot of advice and tag onto some gatherings and...

Nice job on your trailer build. Good luck on the sale. This is a nice rig, so you shouldn't have any problem, besides it is a good price for a nice trailer.
