US Rocky Mountain Camping, hiking and a couple trails in the San Juan area

[DosTacos]

Summary Post to make sure I understand:

Sunday - Arrive in Telluride via hwy 50 to hwy 550 to Last Dollar Road "end" of trail and run it backwards (based on trailsoffroad and funtreks) into Telluride. I'm running Aspen Ridge with the group that morning, are you planning on just leaving and not doing any trail runs with the group on Sunday? Aspen Ridge takes you to Salida which is "on the way" from Buena Vista.

Monday - Hang out in Telluride and Mountain Village then Telluride to Ouray via Imogene and Yankee Boy Basin in the afternoon (concerns for afternoon storms or are we far enough West?)

Tuesday - Hang out in Ouray to hike then hwy 550 to Silverton and up to Animas Forks town then Cinnamon Pass to Lake City

@Wandering Wanda - If you want, we could go North to Engineer Pass and ride that East instead of Cinnamon Pass. They both end up close to Lake City, then we meet up again for the final night. We miss the first 11 waypoints of Engineer but ... eh

Wednesday - Home via hwy 149 North to Gunnison (or whatever route suits you depending on where you're going)

Just a quick note, I got a notification last night Imogene Pass from Telluride to Ouray will be closed for the next 4weeks due to construction.

We decided since everyone is doing Aspen ridge that we might as well ssao that we would all arrive in Montrose at approximately thesame time. I plan on doing Last Dollar rd. part of Corkscrew and take the road leading out of Silverton through the old Town site of Eureka to Animas Forks. Then we will take Cinnamon pass over to Lake City. That is about the extent of the off roading we are doing. We can discuss everyone else's plans Sunday and revise things as we go. I'm really looking forward to the cooler weather that is instore for this trip.

I am so sorry and disappointed I had to back out on this trip. With my clutch/transmission going south on me there really was no choice. Jan and I decided to head out on Saturday to attempt driving my rig home instead of Monday. Cause I realized just how much time I had on my hands to sulk and didn't feel that to be a good way to spend the days waiting for Monday to roll around. Also figured there would be less traffic on Saturday.

Mike I hope you where able to go with Wondering Wanda. They seemed very, very nice! I really missed out!
I enjoyed all the pictures and videos of everyone's weekend it was so special. Take care, David
