Western/Southwest Colorado trip

I’m finally getting around to posting some pictures of my wife’s and I trip to Colorado. We are both from the area so it was great to go home and take the RZR there for the first time. We were there July 17- Aug 1, kind of hot for some of the desert riding we did in Grand Junction but in the mountains around Ouray weather was perfect! Here are some highlights.

Out of Grand Junction we did some riding up 27 1/4 RD, endless possibilities there. The highlight of Junction was the Tabeguache Trail. We unloaded at the Bangs Canyon lot and did a shirt evening ride. Followed a Jeep in that showed us the "Playground" area. This is like a mini Moab! Lots of slick rock, red dirt and awesome terrain! Also checkout Billings Canyon.

Another great ride was out of Marble to Crystal City. A few years ago we did the trail in my old 4Runner but it was much more fun in the RZR. My wife is from Paonia so this was a very familiar area to us. Highly recommend Slow Groovin BBQ!

Our favorite area has always been Ouray, and again it was awesome to get the RZR there. Yankee Boy Basin was a must but to avoid the crowds we spent most of our time on top of Red Mtn Pass on County RD 31, awesome area! A lot of old mines, ghost town, and views that are second to none. Venture slightly into Black Bear pass and over to Porphyry Gultch. Now we just need to go back in fall.
