camping and wheeling in Colorado - JUL 13

[jasheehan]

I'm in the process of putting together a 2 week camping, light wheeling trip in Colorado from around 6 - 19 JUL. My general trip will be:

Fruita - 5-6 JUL
Glenwood Sprgs - 6-9 JUL
Ouray/Telluride - 10-13 JUL
Durango - 13-15 JUL
Creede - 15-16 JUL
? - 16-19 JUL

If anyone wants to link up at any of these locations, let me know. I'll have my 80 series with M416 with RTT and kids/dog in tow. It has lockers, 33", bumpers, winch, etc. We plan on doing some wheeling around Ouray/Telluride and will do backcountry camping.

If any of you have recommendations on cool places to go/stay/fish/hike/bike, etc, please let me know. We have a very flexible schedule. Thanks.

Jeff,
Sounds like great fun. It's been a few years, but I'm very much looking forward to getting back to the mountains in the next year or so.

Here's a link to a pretty good reference thread for camping in the Silverton/Ouray area.

I contribute a couple of spots in one of the first few comments, the first more convenient to Ouray, the second might work better when you're headed to Creede.

Give me a holler when you get close to Durango and I'll buy you a beer at the Irish Embassy Pub.

snow is pretty much gone down here already so everything is basically open in the San Juans.
