You always hear about the great wheeling in Colorado. I have been here since January, finally just now getting a chance to experience the beauty of Colorado. Winter in the mountains lasts through the spring so getting out on the trails can be difficult. 
Not to mention the latest issue of lock downs. Sadly, outdoor activities were included in this lock down along with closed campgrounds and trails.
Neil drove the YJ and I took my Rubicon. It was a challenging rocky trail with spectacular views. We have since sold the YJ. We are now working on a 1969 CJ5. I am thinking we might keep this one. We will see. We all had such a great time we decided to meet up again for some more trail riding. This time Ron picked Toll Road Gulch Mountain Pass. It was a central meeting point for both of us.

This trail has very narrow switchbacks and is scary, the heights. They say my JKU would have made it on the narrow trail, but it would have been tight.
Neil and I plan to take another way to see this town. I look forward to seeing one of the top Ghost Towns around.
Over Memorial Day weekend we took a rode trip to Western Colorado for some camping and wheeling. Another place with spectacular views.
We packed up the back of the CJ5 and hit the Escalante Canyon trail. It is not a difficult trail at all but the views are amazing. We were up in the Uncompahgre National forest for one night of camping then down in the Canyon another night. Escalante Canyon - A Jeep Momma Video
We camped right along side the coyotes. It was so peaceful night of dispersed camping. No noisy tent neighbors. Dispersed camping means we were camping in the wilderness not in a campground.
It got chilly up in the forest as the elevation was about 10,000 feet There was still snow on the ground in some parts. Both these locations were two totally different terrains. Forest and Canyon all in one weekend.
