Hey y'all I'm gonna take a week or so in august and drive from St. louis to Colorado. (camping trip) Gonna haul my pop up camper not too heavy. Anywway what is a good campground and would you reccomend some moderate trails to take? My 4runner isnt too wild for off road yet. ome lift and 285's hit me up Colorado is awesome!!!!!!

 

wooohoooo thats the time of the Jambo
you should try to make it.
the only campsite I know is Chalk Creek friendly people that run it, its very clean, close enogh to trails.
Hopefully others will chime in that have used other camp site.

 

oh another thing, DONT DO IT, dont come out here for vacation, dont wheel out here, you will end moving here, lol, we did a few years ago, lol

 

Yeah I know what ya mean its beautiful. Went to pikes peak in 1997...1997 its been 10 years? sheesh time flies drove up to rampart range went fishing and mountain biking. those were the days. Also went to gunnison in 2005 checked out blue mesa WOW!!! went to mirror lake also (easy trail) caught our limit of trout. My senses are nagging me to go back

 

you should try to make the Jambo, since your going to be here that time anyway.

 

I took a road trip through CO this past summer, Ric's right, I'd move there. We stuck mainly to the paved roads (I did not have my 4Runner yet and we were in our Civic). but we did a big loop starting in SW CO near CO national Monument, up north to Dinosaur, east through Steamboat Springs, further east over the rockies (Rocky Mtn Nat Park (awesome)), then down SW again through the Maroon BElls through Aspen and down through Durango and Mesa Verde.

We live in AZ so this road trip took a while and we did no camping (sad). I wanted to camp in Dinosaur Nat Park, there is some wilderness area that is 4wd only. There is a camp site there that is supposed to be pretty sweet. Check this out.

Of course this is in the NW corner of CO (some of it's actually in Utah. Have Fun!

 

What part of CO? All over, or a particular destination? and hello fellow Mo person.

I really liked Ouray to Engineer pass and then over to Silverton, we camped between Silverton and Ouray, off the million dollar highway. I also liked...I think it was Weston Pass, then over to Mosquito Pass for a loop and we camped at Turquoise lake near Leadville. Ouray to Engineer was my favorite of the very little that we were able to do.

My truck is stock with Michelin highway tires. There's so much there, I wish we'd had time for more exploring. I'm taking notes too, guys, for next time....so cough it up, where is the good stuff?

There is good stuff to be had just about everywhere in the western 2/3 of the state and there are plenty of people on here and www.cottora.org who would be happy to show it to ya!

IF you don't hit up the jambo, Silverton Ouray is awesome! Here is my thread about it
