Headed to Ouray, Colorado on Thursday

Anyone have any idea's on some good 4 wheeling in the Ouray area of Colorado, I'm headed there on Thursday to see a freinds new place out there but don't know of any cool trails there but I'm told it's a great off road area with lots to see including the old rail road that still runs. Any ideas would help. I have GPS if someone has waypoints. Thanks, Scott

Do the Alpine Loop - Engineer Pass to Lake City returning via Cinnamon Pass!!! We did it last year in rain and snow in about 4 hours. If visability had been better, I'm sure it would have taken longer...

When I was down there on the 4th they said Imogene and Black Bear would probably not open this year. But Cinnamon, Engineer, Corkscrew, Ophir, etc are all good ones with great views.
