    I will sleep in Torrey, where Capitol Reef is located. The next day, I will be at the park at exactly the time that they open and will do just like 3 hours to 4 hours there. Then will be on my way to Moab. If I get there on time to do Arches, I will go there. A lot of people like to take...

    LOL, I want to get back to Ouray in time. Going the other way is too long. I have looked at it and going all that way to come back makes it really long for me. I plan to be somewhat slow on these trails, so going all the way would take me way further from Ouray. Right now, that is how I would...

    I leave on July 4th for my 12 hours drive from Houston to Carlsbad, NM. My QX is all ready. Just getting my things ready now as I leave in a little less than 3 weeks. I have never taken a road trip on July 4th. So, I will see if there is light or heavy traffic on I-10. Here is how my QX will...

    Lol, my tires are not heavy duty. They are just regular all eason tires. So, no hardcore for me. And yes, I will do what you just described, but in a different route. This is how I will do the Alpine route. Leave Ouray and drive on 550 all the way until I get to Corkscrew Gulch. Take that to...

    Anybody here from South Dakota? I was looking up places in SD and saw a few places of interest I would like to include if my trip happens to be extended. If I drive from Denver to see mount rushmore in South Dakota, these are the places I plan to stop and visit on a one day trip. And sleep...

    I looked at the map above on this page and the route I would take is Corkscrew G to California G to Cinnamon Pass. At the pass, I take my pictures with the sign and make a uturn enroute pour Engineer Pass. At the pass, I take my pictures again and make a uturn, destination Ouray, not Bay City. I...

    Thanks for your comment. I really welcome any suggestion. The trip is still a ways away, so I am open to make any changes I deem interesting. Nothing is set in stone, but just gives me a good plan to start off with. About hiking in the Grand Canyon, I don't plan to hike. Just enjoy the scenery...

    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...
