Yes, I plan to go back in the summer. It is not confirmed yet, but I would like to return. I would definitely keep you posted then.
It is a great place to live in. I admire those of you who live there. The million dollar highway into Ouray was quite a sight. It was scary behind the wheel, but I...
Yes, I was using my Garmin gps, but it does not show topography. At this point, it showed I was just driving in the wilderness. It did not recognize the trail and could not tell looking at the gps if I was at the end of a cliff.
It got dark pretty fast. The trail head was supposed to be at 9.6. But I couldn't find it, so I forged forward and got to 10.7 on my odometer. At this point I saw a very bad part of road infront of me. I was convinced I had definitely passed the end of the trail. I made a uturn and went to where...
To get to the top of this trail, as soon as you turn off highway 128, reset odometer to 0. From that spot to the top of the trail, your odometer should read 9.6. But I went until my odometer showed 10.7. I kept on going after 9.6 because I could not find or recognize what exactly was the end of...
I finally made it to Moab, UT today. As soon as I checked in, I decided to hit the trails. Drove for 30 miles to hit the start of the trail I have been eyeing... TOP OF THE WORLD. And I conquered it in my stock Armada. My Armada did take some beating, and I used my ramps to get up some points it...
Oh wow. Would have been nice to meet the Nissan event Gone Moab.
I bet Alpine Loop was tough. I met 2 Jeeps and Landcruiser going on Alpine Loop. I said I would join them and they told me I would not make it. But I didn't have time to stay, so I left for my journey.
I finally got my window regulator replaced here at MOntrose NIssan in Montrose, CO. It cost me $500 out the door. A lot more than I could have paid to get it fixed in my area. Well, glad the car is fixed. I am on my way now to Moab, UT.
I met a couple of guys on their way to drive a few trails. I wanted to do one with them, but it going to be too long and they said my car may not make it. So, I just drove with them on the million dollar highway until they got to the start of the trail. There I took pictures of this map that...
I left my hotel today heading to Montrose, Co to fix my Armada then decided to go to Ouray, CO and see it for a bit. Along the way, I took some scenic shots.
Yes, most of the popular trails all have snow on them right now. But it sure will be all open in July, I think. I may just come back in July to drive all these trails.
But I am still having a blast out here enjoying the trails, nature, scenic byways and the wildlife.
Next, I went and did Black Bear Pass. I was actually going to see the Bridal Veil, but to get there, you must go through Black Gap. So, I went. Well, after being told that it was not bad at all.
Black Bear trail in the back as I make up my mind to go on it.
My gps showing my progress and the...
Tackling Imogene Pass
I asked around and was told people have been going up until they meet the snow blocking the way. Then they struggle to make a uturn and come back. Well, I was here for adventures so I set off alone on the trail. It was my first time and it was very intimidating. I put it...
Now that I am in Telluride, I decided I was going to try and ask around and locate the famous trails like Imogene Pass, Black Bear Pass and I wanted to see the Bridal Veil which is on Black Bear Pass. Little did I know that I will end up find myself doing a solo trip on Imogene Pass and Black...
I left Durango, CO in the cold and headed for my 2.5 hours drive to Telluride, CO to see what I can get done there. It was a nice ride as I was just amazed by everything I was seeing. It is my first time to Colorado and I say the route was very scenic. Then I got to see a cougar, or mountain...
I got to Albuquerque at 3am, pulled up at a gas station, rolled down my window to speak with attendant. Done and tried to roll my window back up but the switch was broken.
In that very cold weather, I had to decide to stay in Albuquerque until the Nissan dealerships open in 5 hours, then fix...
