Cool, thanks! Does one book have an edge over the other? What maps are recommended?
Also what fuel range is needed? Paraphrased: I'm going to be living in California for five months so my Jeep is going to be full as it is. So do I really need to add a gas can to the list?
I like the Backcountry Adventures book and it covers more trails.
Fuel range in this area is not an issue. There are a few towns very close by that some of these trails connect (Telluride, Silverton, Ouray, Lake City), and all of them have gas stations
