    You, my friend are one smart guy. That is a very good route to tackle my number 1 and 2 on the same day. Smart idea and really sounds like a better plan. And because of the way you described it, take look at the map I just posted, it means if time is not a factor, I will throw in Cinnamon Pass...

    @BlindWilly Wow is all I can say. You have some great pictures and great videos. I can't wait to get out there already. Ok, I just checked out that Schnebly Hill road and all I can say is that is my natural habitat. I am adding that to my "to do" list. I looked it up on trip advisor and saw...

    Thanks for the encouragement. But trust me, my mind is set on this one. I am very positive I will be driving Imogene Pass. These are the trails I plan to tackle while in Ouray... 1- Mineral Pass to Engineer Pass. Making a U turn and returning. The other side of Engineer Pass is too easy and too...

    Now you got my attention with that pic. That is just gorgeous. And based on your description, it may not be a long drive. So, I may throw that in.

    @unkamonkey We do not plan to do any hiking because of that heat you all keep on talking about. So we will make sure to always be hydrated and have a cooler full of ice with water bottles. We are planning to do whitewater rafting instead of hiking. We did not plan on camping on this trip. But...

    @bishop2queen's6 Thanks for the info and all the tips. They are very well noted. Yes, I have been to Vegas before, 4 years ago. We flew in and spent 4 days. We never even had a rental car because we did not need it. So all we did was walking up and down the strip, so I know and remember all...

    @jrob Thanks for the tips. The 2 trails you mention I may have problems with are definitely on my “to do” list. So, we shall see how it plays out. And yes, I am staying clear from Black Bear, though my QX can be referred to as a BIG Black Bear itself. I do not plan for them to...

    @Christophe Noel Tu parle français ? Ton nom resemble un nom français. Thanks for all the great info. I think I may check out Guenella Pass, since it is close to Mt Evans which I plan to go to. I checked out Chamonix Inn and it looks cozy, but I may not be able to go stay there since I already...

    Great info!!! Thanks a lot for the great info. I plan to push my rig a little bit out of its comfort zone in the San Juan mountains in Ouray. But I would also be reasonable to know where to back off. Yes, I would like to do the Alpine Loop and other moderate and easier trails. The traffic...

    Thanks for the compliment on my other threads. I strongly encourage you to do the trip you have planned to do the Mighty 5. I will definitely be updating my thread, especially during my trip. So rest assured I would share with you my experience with the Mighty 5. My itinerary here does not...

    I never knew the town of Hanksville until you mentioned it. Based on my trip, going through the Mighty 5, yes, I will be going through Hanksville. I looked up San Rafael Swell and it seems to have some great rock formations also. But unfortunately it seems I would not be able to go West on I-70...

    The itinerary is my reference in case I am wondering what to do on what day. It is definitely very flexible, if I find cooler stuffs to do or if I want to do exactly like you said: just sit somewhere and relax. But more importantly is to help me book the hotels in advance since I will not be...

    Here is my rig for the road trip. Well, I am not done fully dressing her up. A week before my trip, I will finish my last touches of dressing her up. I could drive her looking like a regular QX on the road, but I decided to put my own touch to her and will dress her up fully about a week...

    Monteros on craigslist

    Yeah, I think it is a scam now. If it had a number before. I have not heard back from seller. Or maybe it sold after he emailed me?

    That ad might be a scam. I just emailed seller and asked for a phone number so I can call them, but this is the response email I got. "Hello, There is a minor coolant leak. My sister is the original owner, and gave me the car in October wen mine was stolen. I do not have the original sticker...
