Great post! Thanks for sharing with us!
This reminds me of my long time travel companion, Scooter, he never left my side. He was always ready to go on a journey.

NP, appreciate that anyone at all is interested.
I'm gonna have to check that out sounds like a good trip.
Good looking pup. They are so resilient and bring so much joy when they are around.
I'm hoping some of the memories stick lol. Thanks for the kind words

Thanks for the great report and photos. Brought back good memories of riding down the Forestry Trunk Rd in 1987 on my Honda XL600, returning from Alaska and NWT, rain all the way. And 10-20 years later, a road trip to Colorado with wife and kids in our own 80 Series. And finally, camping in Whitefish and Seely Lake last summer with my wife, in my Tacoma with RTT. Daily setup and tear down of the RTT was a hassle and we went back to a ground tent, though I sometimes miss the space and view from the RTT.

If you get some spare time
Came back to this because a buddy just sent it to me as an idea for a trip next year... You're making waves!

Lol. Big guys like me can't help but make waves just from displacement.
It's a great trip and even better if you can take some time. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks for the kind words! It was a lot of fun and I'm hoping to go on at least a couple of similar trips this year.

Great pics and write up. I did those loops, along with the Continental Divide two years ago. Really great ride. The memories of that trip, with your family, are priceless.

Great report! I also have spent a good amount time roaming around CO with the family. We live around the Boulder area.
We did Cinnamon Pass from Lake City west in our Syncro probably 4 yrs ago. Still had 14" wheels and 27" tires back then (not too difficult, but we did get a lot of looks from Jeepers (as usual :agree)
I want to make the Engineers pass side this summer after we get our new van (4x4 sprinter, due any day!)
If you don't take Black Bear into Telluride, an easier, but still has some clincher points due to exposure (and it was hailing on us as we descended), is Ophir pass south of Telluride
Love that area!
