Star Trails August 2011
Well folks it is getting to be that time again. As I understand it the Star Trails from MB Club of America is going again next year.
The event will take place in the San Juan mountains, the steepest range in the Rockies with peaks rising to 14,000 feet. The participants will drive the high country roads over a variety of terrain. Wildflowers and ghost towns are plentiful!
Did anyone here go last time? It sounds like those who went to the last Star trails in 2003 had a great time.
In 2011 they are going to be in Ouray Colorado, which I have been to several times, and I am looking forward to it already! There are amazing paved roads for those who avoid dirt, some of the trails are amazingly easy and any 4x4 could do it even bone stock, and then there are a few that can challenge us all in our more fun wheeling experiences.
Some of the mountain tops (like Imogene pass) get over 13,000 feet!
It is also close to Teluride, Silverton, and Durango, down in the south-western corner of CO.

I also know they did something last year they called “Star Lite” and I will see if I can get some information on that for you if you are interested.
Here are some links from the one they did last time.

At any rate, I am planning on going and I thought I would see if anyone else is going to be there!
