Days 15 through 30
Day 15 through 30th.
Made it through Wyoming which was a mixture of Forest, then the Great Divide Basin which has to be the most isolated I have ever been. Parts of this area is totally flat and you won’t see another soul. Nothing except antelope. Not until you get to...
Days 8 through 15.
I moved into Colorado by this point and the Rio Grande forest and the San Juan Mountain range. Just gorgeous. Tons of fly fishermen in the Conejos River. Saw plenty of homesteads and just grave sites with nothing around them except for the small fences and some flowers...
Thanks Mikey, you will enjoy the route completely! There is so much to see and do, give yourself time. Passed a lot of motorbike riders. Hope you do it. You won't be sorry.
Days 4 through 7
We traveled from the Plains of San Agustin, then Pie Town which is just a little gathering place for the locals. We had to travel to Quemado to get gas then up to El Malpas National Monument with has the Chain of Craters Backcountry road. Warm but beautiful! The lava rock...
Days 2 and 3
We spent the next couple of days traversing the Gila National Forest and the Plains of San Agustin before moving through the town of Mangas. All the roads were dirt, some slow moving through the Gila but not too bad. Rocky sections followed by mud and sand. The coyotes were...
This is the Great Divide trail used by Cyclists, but I started in Antelope Wells New Mexico and stopped in Montana, right at the border. I didn’t make it into Canada on this trip, I’ll do this portion next year. Close to 2500 miles and 80% of it on dirt. Easy roads, rough roads and shelf...
I don't know either! Just pushed some buttons. I'm in Salida Colorado. Heading to Silverton. Where are you now? I've got some great camp sites tagged and your van would do it all fine.
Speak. I just got into Del Norte and cell service. Dogs and I doing great. Coyotes scared my little chi but she is good now. Traveling slow. Hope you get the issues resolved.
This is great information. I have the arb awnjng and it does nothing for cooking in the rain. I think I'm going to switch. Thanks for the post. Love my trailer. The dogs and I do great
Thanks Sleam for all your posts. I've been reading, getting ready to start the Divide Route myself with my two dogs, Gracie and ChiChi. I'm so excited, we will do a lot of the same roads you were on. I've made note where you have camped. Hope we run into you one of these days! We would be...
Oh boy Doug, that was rough! Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I try not to do real technical stuff with the trailer attached, but I've been caught before on a trail that I though Oh Crap. Well, the trailer stayed right behind so thank goodness. Yes, I have also tried doing those 5 and 10...
