Four-Wheeling

Posted on July 16, 2009 by Dayphoto

One of our favorite places to go four-wheeling is Ouray, Colorado. http://www.ouraycolorado.com/Jeep+Road+Conditions

Ouray-2009-015

This lovely little mountain town is 1.5 hours from our house. Not only do we like to soak in the naturally occurring hot springs pool, but we love to travel the old mine roads.

Sunday we took off, hoping to climb Imogene Pass and end up in Telluride over Black Bear Pass. Imogene Pass is the second highest pass in Colorado. http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=80

Ouray-2009-018

We didn’t make it because of a huge thunderstorm the made the trail a morass of mud.

I’ll have to enjoy this drive vicariously. That whole altitude sickness thing makes actually doing it impossible.

By the time we reached Ouray I was surprised and very thankful to see some flat land!!! When we take the kids to CO we will definitely stop there and enjoy the springs.

Looking forward to the pics of your next four wheeling excursion!

Colorado really looks a nice place. We have friends who used to live here in Brisbane, they won a green card raffle for the US and are now living in Louisville Colorado. He teaches at a University and does ski instructing on the side. We WILL have to come and visit them one day.

Have fun when you go back!! We went four-wheeling in Montana once, way up high on some mountain trails. Amazing how you are so by yourself up there. We had a great time (4 of us).
