Thank you for all of your hard work of filming, running back and forth with the camera, editing, and all of the work behind the scenes. It allows bedridden terminally ill people like me a chance to “go off Roading”. Thank you
Altitude is an ass kicker. I felt that hike. 😂
Thanks for the awesome video. We love Ouray and are headed back this August.
Was awesome to see your group playing in my back yard, have to admit that all the years I've lived here I have never been up above Ouray .... now I'll have to. If you get back up this way you might check out Stoney Pass. Thanks for you great videos. I'm looking to move Missouri Ozarks area, looking forward to riding trails down there.
I did porphyry gulch right when it opened and I barely made it to well before you have to leave the vehicle. It was so slick that I had to tuck my tail between my legs and turn around. A month later I was showing porphyry gulch to someone and completely forgot about the lake and the hike but trail was good. As I am watching your video I am kicking myself for forgetting. Would have been a cool hike. Grr. Maybe next time.
Another great video! Thanks for putting together this series of your trip!
Great video. I enjoyed all the videos from this trip; it looked like a blast.
JG Taylor thanks for that!! It was awesome and I can’t wait to go back again!!
Loved the series, thank you for sharing your adventure.
Mason Murr thank you!!!
Outstanding !! You have really stepped up your game!! Probably the best footage I have seen from this region ever!!! Keep it up my friend..
Oh wow!! Thank you!!!
I found the first part then I found the fifth part so I’m going to have to go hunting for the ones in between I do love Ouray have done many trails there but not the last one
If you found the first one, the second one should show up as a link at the end and so forth.
You look like I guy I went to school with. Love your videos!
Thanks!!!
Great Videos! Thank You!
Next time you're here check out silver lake/Cloverdale mine Rabinow lake in and out trail just outside Westcliff
Will do. There’s so much to see and do!!!
That trail in the first portion of the video was gorgeous and more my speed. Your drone footage is beautiful and hope to get there one day to visit.
Everything is gorgeous there!
I enjoyed this series! We just got home (Chattanooga) from Colorado 2 days ago. We did Yankee Boy basin and Imogene pass, I have a full size so I'm glad I didn't try Black Bear. After watching your videos, I don't think those switch backs would've been fun. You've given me a few more ideas of places I'd like to check out next time! Great job!
Thanks for that. This was our 4th year in a row to go and we haven't come close to scratching the surface on all the trails out there. So we will just keep going back. lol
We've enjoyed watching. We can't go to Colorado. But we are doing a 3 day camp and ride in the Ozarks the weekend after labor day
ben napier heck yeah!!! I’ve got a 5 day trip through the Ozarks over Labor Day weekend. Watching all this coming rain very carefully.
I did Bullion King Lake just yesterday. The hike was longer than the map led on to believe and like you said, it wouldn't be so bad if you could only breathe at those altitudes!
Jared Hornberger glad it wasn’t just me. 😂😂
I really enjoyed this series!
Nice video, great serie. Thanks for sharing.
Great series of videos guys
THANKS!!
Really enjoyed the Colorado series. Enjoyed every minute of it! I’m in Conway also
Awesome! Thank you!
Good video. Looks like great wheeling. I miss Ouray
Jeeping Mo so do we!!! Thanks!!
Your drone footage is really great, with the history, I always wanted to do some of those mountain passes. AZ Boy
Thank you. They are beautiful.
Appreciated the series! Love the mix of rigs too, good stuff 👍. Subscribed!
Thanks so much!! I love wheeling with mixed rigs. It’s more fun.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures We should have done a segment on the different rigs, a walk around.
@@robertwicker196 That would have been a great idea.
Damn these views!!! I gotta make this trip
it's epic!!! You gotta get out there.
What has been your favorite trail near Ouray? We are going in a month. Thinking of doing Yankee boy and then Imogene part way then back to Ouray. Or woud you recommend the trails east of million dollar highway? Mainly looking for views/waterfalls, not worried about wheeling hard since its first trip to CO
You went into Ourary and took a shower. Did you get a hotel room for a couple hours or is there public showers? How does that work?
There was a motel on the north side of town that let us pay $10 to use their showers.
Colorado > Moab. Nathan is right lol!
Where do you get the little plaques on the left front fender?
They are from the Jeep Badge of Honor Program.
Question is how is the traveling with the teardrop trailer. Does it limit your areas with overlanding exploring?
Out west I wouldn’t say it limits me at all. Now obviously I’m not going to take it over Black Bear Pass or attempt the wall on Poughkeepsie with it but that’s why we set up a base camp in areas like that to explore without the camper. Now in the Ozarks where I’m from, I won’t pull the camper. The trails are just too tight. In the Ozarks I’ll only do a base camp and explore without it.
Great video series! Was this trip during July or August?
End of July. If you go any earlier you risk trails not being open yet. Even this year Pearl Pass and Black Bear opened right before we got there. Thanks!!
Was there a book you were using to find these spots? I've never been and want to go in just over a week. Im from Joplin Missouri
Go to fun treks.com they have a book of all the trails in Colorado
Caveman Outdoors we have used the FunTreks books. They are awesome!!!
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures im going to order one.
Caveman Outdoors there are two for CO. Make sure you get the right one fir where you’ll be.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures im going to be around Ouray
What time of year did you'all do these trails. Are you planning a return trip?
This was the last week of July 2020. We have been to Colorado 4 years in a row. This year we are focusing on the Moab area.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures just got back from Moab. Make sure you see if the Mineral Bottom Canyon overlook campsite is open. Room for several rigs and amazing views. Spent two night there and didn’t see a soul. (But it was February.)
@@davidhaymon1708 thanks for the tip. I will look into it!
What month did you go ?..
This was late July 2020.
I enjoyed watching your videos. Pardon my ignorance, but where do you leave your trailer while out on the trails? It appears it is with you sometimes, then others not.
Brad Litke thanks!! On the days when we stay in the same place it gets left back at camp. We stayed in Ouray 4 nights and it stayed at camp.
