Very tempting! I will keep an eye on it!
Sean, you would be wise to periodically check San Miguel county pass reports prior to your trip to ensure the San Juan 4x4 mountain passes are open in/by mid-late June. Imogene pass (Ouray to Telluride) did not open until late July (2019) due to high snow pack and avalanche conditions.
Some beautiful country to explore and would want you to see in its fullness.

Tom, Happy New Year and thanks for the info! I'll be sure to keep an eye on the report. If you have any additional insight let me know.
Sean, Are you thinking you are still going to have this trip scheduled due to the current pandemic restrictions?

This looks awesome and I love Colorado, but I'm already planning on the Touratech Rally which is that weekend. Have fun and post up pictures!
I just registered to go on this trip (first one with you guys) and am really looking forward to it! I actually grew up in Ouray and can't wait for the opportunity to go back to western Colorado.
Western Colorado is amazing. This will be a great trip. Plenty of overland trails throughout the Rockies.

I understand this has been canceled therefore can it be removed from the planned trip page? Also why are members being charged for the same? Just a curiosity question.
Thanks!
If it was still in June was considering going don’t believe I can do September but I will keep an eye on it! Always wanted to explore that area!
