I will be exploring in the Salida and Ouray areas during the third week of Sept. Looking for advise and or company. I have a stock FJ with rock rails and BFG A/T's. Mostly easy trails. I am prepared to camp out or not. I will travel to you if you are trailing somewhere else. I am a flatlander and do not want to anger the gods of elevation. Being a flatlander, I am also facinated by mountains, snow, and all of the off road trails in your state. I am a flyfisherman and would be interested in that aspect as well.

have fun ! I did at the summit. try yankee boy gov basin and then imogene. all could possible be done in a day but then not much time to look around and see what it there .
the alpine loop is also a good one day trip .
all in the stock FJ range it up to you to find the trails that meet the limits of your driving abilities

My GFs dad lives in Salida so I am there everyonce in a while not sure when though... I'll let you know if I make it down in the 2nd half of Sept. As far as wheeling goes I'm with you... Stock with stock rockrails and BFG ATs... let me know when you're plans are final.

Oh, you will LOVE it! If you want to camp in Ouray....try to stay at Ampitheater - it's a great camping spot.........there's a really great spot, but it might be secret.........

OK Katfish, how much is it going to cost me to get the secret camping spot out of you? I saw a picture somewhere of the Amplitheater campground and one of our members had a Tentrax Trailer Tent, but I can't find it now. Anyway, it looks like a great campground and I will be headed there. Thanks for the encouragement. I can't wait.

Shred, I'll be in the area the 16th thru the 21st, I too should be staying in Amphitheater CG, unless time/weather won't allow, then it's a Hotel. Let me know what dates and then we could team up for some trail time. I have a Blk Dmnd with the OME lift, raock rails and skids, but I'm still running stock rubber so I'm limiting the degree of trails I take also. Tim

Beware the weather. Some trails may close by the third week of September. I'm heading up in a couple of days for what may be the last time this year.

shane4x4 · 08-29-2007, 10:41 AM

We may be into doing something around that time. Don't know if we can get out to Ouray or not, but maybe a late sept sand dunes saturday?

You can run pretty much everything in the Ouray area stock. Imogene is great along with Black Bear. Have fun!

It looks like I will be arriving in the Frontrange area about the 15th. I will spend a couple of days in the Denver to Salida area and then head for Ouray.
