I will be starting a Denver HIH thread for anyone that would like to join the long and scenic route to Ouray for the event. This will probably be a minimum of two days covering some great trails on the way.
What to do after HIH???
Yes, it will be hot in the swell that time of year but worse are the biting gnats. I'd stay in the high country. My recommendation would be Grand Mesa about 20 miles north of Delta, CO. Highest flat top mountain in the world, lots of lakes, many trails for 4x4, bike and hike. If your family likes hiking you must do the Crag Crest trail. Campgrounds aplenty but the bigger ones will require reservation. Tons of smaller ones too and hundreds of boondock camping options. None have showers but many private campgrounds between Ouray and GM.
We have the next week available to hang out and explore after the event. Can anyone give any recommendations? I will have the family with me so some family friendly hikes and fun things would be great. After 3-4 nights of primitive camping we'll likely need a campground for a hot shower and trip to the laundromat. I was thinking of leaving Ouray and heading over to the Swell. Looks like Green River is only 3-3.5hr away. How hot will it be over there at that time of year?
What would you do if you have another 3-4 days to check out the area? We will need to be back in PA on Sunday so will need to plan a miserable 3+ solid days in the car to end the trip.
Thanks!
Thank you for the invite. The morning may be early for us on the 31st. We will leave Prescott in the morning and its maybe 9 hours to Durango. Thankspassing through Durango the morning of the 31st, can meet us there for the last hour into Ouray if you'd like.
Did this email go out yet? Haven't seen anything come through yet. We'll have 2 kids. 11 and 13. My wife says I act like a kid, but I'm actually pretty old
