14 Trails, 2.5 Miles High, Ouray Colorado

[d-nought]

We spent a week in early August in Ouray with the goal of spending as much time off road as we could, I think we succeeded. Here are a few pictures from our adventure I wanted to share.

Day 1: Red Mountain Mining area, just getting our tires dirty.





Day 2: Imogene Pass and Last Dollar Rd.





A preview of things to come?? The switch backs of Black Bear.



Day 3: Yankee Boy Basin and Governors Basin





Day 4: Alpine Loop: Mineral Creek, Engineers Pass, Cinnamon Pass, California Gluch, Hurricane Pass, and Corkscrew Gulch. A 67 Mile, 11.5 hour trek at the top of the world.

















Day 5 and 6 Still to come!

Day 5: Poughkeepsie Gulch

A quick jaunt up the first half of Mineral Creek again to get to the Poughkeepsie Gulch trail head.

What did we sign up for? :thumb:





Time to pull cable





Day 6: Black Bear Pass and Ophir Pass

Very nice.
Epic trek for sure and nice pics.
Poughkeepsie is a tough trail and no shame in pulling cable.
I run most of those trails twice a year.

Great pictures! What do you have for lift and tires on the 4 door?

No lift, stock Rubicon ride height, with flat flares and Nitto Trail Grapplers in LT295/70 R17 (33s ish)

No shame here This was the first time we attempted something like this, and had a blast doing it. We didn't break anything, and we were are able to drive our daily drivers home after the trip :thumb: But, we will be back in the future to try again.

Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing. We had Ouray on our list this year but changed at the last minute and spent the whole trip in Salida/Leadville. We will dedicate a whole trip to the Ouray area in the near future.
