That’s quite a pair!!
I guess it would depend on how much thrashing you’re into. Some of the trails are technical. If you’ve never been and you don’t know the trails I would suggest falling in with one of the groups. Will all depend on how many other vehicles are on the trails. The place can be swamped with side-by-sides. IMOHas anyone gone down and road the Durango-Silverton train ride? Looks like about a 2 hr trip from Ouray. I just wish it went roundtrip from Silverton rather than Durango.
On the other hand are there enough trails out there to wheel 6-8 hours a day and catch them all? I plan to arrive Sunday afternoon and leave the following Saturday early. I have a 2000 mile journey each way.

Who was it a few years back that was balls to the wall everywhere he went and broke everything on his truck including His gas can? And then somebody posted an interview from YouTube and saw him flying by in the background who was that?

Will you guys do the most popular trails every day or will you have a list of which trails you are guiding on what days?You can spend that much time each day up there and not do everything available. I have never done the train but have wanted to.
We offer trailguides for most of the popular and iconic trails each day starting on Monday.
Black Bear Pass is a one way trail. Please don't run it backwardsWill you guys do the most popular trails every day or will you have a list of which trails you are guiding on what days?
In some videos I have watched it looks like Black Bear pass would be more fun (challenging) to do from Telluride to Ouray but it might be more safer to do it from Ouray. What are your thoughts?
I am sure I will ask more questions. I have wheeled all over the U.S. but not any of these trails.
There will be trails lead each day on what are known as the Ionic trails. Imogene, BlackBear, Ophir, Yankee Boy Basin, Governors Basin and a few others that are on the West side of Red Mountain Pass or the Ouray and Telluride side of the pass.Will you guys do the most popular trails every day or will you have a list of which trails you are guiding on what days?

Exactly why we do it my friend. Most people don't care to beat their old and valuable vehicle on the trails each day. Completely different mindset, especially for those of us that drive them hundreds if not thousands of miles to and from Ouray each year.I would also point out 90 percent of the trails that are run at SAS are none technical (your Moms Subaru would make it ) it's the natural beauty, scenery Family atmosphere and great people that bring me back every year !!!

Something to keep in mind however is not the overall difficulty of the trails but the area in which they are in. Most are on shelf roads with very ill results if you do screw up or make a poor decision. Please have your vehicle prepaired before hand. Good brakes, steering and cooling systems all come to mind. Have your fuel system in good working order also, carborated or fuel injected vehicles will let you know what needs attention real quick with the altitudes and low boiling point of high ethinol grade fuels. Insulating or shielding fuel lines is a big help in this area. It's a simple thing to overlook, I'm guilty of it myself but over the years I have learned what works most of the time for my Cruisers.
