Aspen-Sopris Ranger District cleared the rockslide/obstruction, and Schofield is open. Some friends drove it July 4th or 5th.

You shouldn't have any issues with a trailer. See you in November with the Keystone Cruisers???!!!

Thanks! The pass was pretty dry but there were still spots of running water coming down the area where there is a turnoff to the reservoir (downhill from the open gate and fence marking the "national preserve"). The deepest crossing was about 16-18", others downstream (with stone bottoms) were...

My son had some buddies out from the east coast for a week (they're all 18-19 years old), and they wanted to undertake some adventure and camping. They made some day trips from our home in Colorado Springs but were really anticipating the off-road experience and some camping. We started on...

Nice trip report, and great photos! Glad that you enjoyed your tour of Colorado!

Great pictures--diverse terrain, and fantastic story well told! Thanks for posting this.

Imogene Pass video:

Have to agree with krick3tt; from concept, design, and execution, it appears you did a very good job!

Wednesday, our last day, we drove Governor Basin and found that it remains closed (to 4-wheel vehicles, bikes and motorcycles can pass). Overall it was a great trip, we mapped/photographed seven roads and are ready to lead a larger group coming from the Springs later in August.

Tuesday, Day 3, the weather was shaping better than Monday; clear skies earlier in the morning. We drove south on Highway 550 to the trailhead to Black Bear Pass. Today's goal is to run Black Bear and Imogene Pass back into Ouray. We completed the trip including the creation of new GPS tracks...

Monday was overcast/hazy in the morning, and soon the sun was peeking through, if only briefly. We drove and photographed Corkscrew Gulch (Pass), Hurricane Gulch (Pass), and California Pass. Before completing this route and arriving at Animas Forks, the rain showers had returned--at times...

A friend and I made a quick 4-day trip this week, Sunday through Wednesday, to Ouray, Silverton, and Telluride. The plan was to make reconnaissance for a larger club group going next month, and to produce tracks, waypoints, photos, and videos for trailsoffroad.com. Sunday, we drove to Ouray...

Great pics and story, thanks for sharing!

Yes, I believe that the Lewis Sweet shop is still open in Empire! This was only my second trip there (first time in 2008), so I'm not well informed about Empire, but I will visit again!

Another adventurous weekend with friends from Meetup/trailsoffroad in Denver. This was a day trip to shoot new photos and video in order to update trail guides on Red Elephant Hill, Mill Creek, and Bill Moore Lake roads. Our group was small, only three rigs; a Jeep TJ, a well-built Tacoma...

Yes, there are a few good sites on FS Road 300 (aka Bald Mountain Gulch), especially the ridge where I've marked Waypoint 9 in the trail guide, below. If you camp on the west side of the FS Road, there is a hiking path to the rocky crest where you can view the Arkansas River Valley. It's...

I spent five nights in the forest around Springville, Sundance, and Grantsville, Utah at the end of June. It was a great time of trail riding, fishing, and a little bit of site-seeing (Land Cruiser Heritage Museum), though I tried to avoid the valley and associated traffic as much as possible...

Hi, Thomas! Sounds like you are prepping for a great cross-country adventure. My last duty station was here in Colorado, NORAD-USNORTHCOM and I worked with a great CG aviation officer who's now in Oregon. Anyway, check out my new post-retirement adventure, trailsoffroad.com; we're building...

Did a similar course last October/November as part of the trailsoffroad Epic Adventure; you make fantastic photos--really capture the essence of being out there!

On the weekend of 3-4 June, I spent the weekend with guys from trailsoffroad and 8Koffroad in the Fourmile Area. We ran a couple of new-to-me trails (three or four, actually) and some familiar ones to update conditions on the trail guides. We found a short connector, FS Road 185D, to be a...
