We got close! But the night before the crossing our daughter got altitude sickness. We had to descend down to Purgatory area where we camped for a few days. It wasn't meant to be, but daughter was ok and that's all that mattered. Maybe next year.

Ours is: @gormanoutdoors

Go up FS 585 to South Mineral CG, then keep going.. https://www.gaiagps.com/map/?loc=13.4/-107.7529/37.8017&popupLoc=-107.80316/37.78032&pubLink=Q8sVjnRK7q07MYOsPvgdBWgK&waypointId=10192b009cb22915d10c4f4e8c05422b

At this point not quite sure.. hoping I can still get out there in July, but the world is *insane* right now..

Texas is great. Hope the move works out. Texas hill country route is fun as noted above. Also check out Padre Seashore (PINS)you can camp on the beach in Texas - like 70 miles of it. We also typically bolt to CO or NM to get altitude in the summer. One day travel from Austin to Carson NF.

Great advice folks, thanks for the tips!!

I really appreciate the discussion! We are on 33.5” tires. It will go through 24” of water if it’s not too fast. We did that at the top of FR 585 above mineral campground. Went all the way up easy. I just saw an Instagram post of a earthroamer on Ophir so now I feel like a dork for asking.

You mean which way am I driving the trail or where do I live? Was thinking of driving the trail from Silverton side. Live in Austin, TX.

Camper setup. I was thinking of starting in Silverton and yes hit those camp sites. I wanted to get out through lake city so we can hit owl pass to Ouray

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I have Lots of time Offroad in 4-low in various conditions.

Oh forgot to mention it’s a long wheelbase 170” Sprinter :)

What do y’all think? Too tricky to go from Silverton, CO to Creede, CO over Stony pass with 4x4 Sprinter w/Toyo MT’s and upgraded suspension (Van Compass). Anyone with experience? Is there a better pass/option like Engineer or Cinnamon? thx!

Posted this on another thread as well.. Got it setup in the new truck (2020 Ford F-250 with Sync3) and it seems to work awesome! No need to mount iPad - and you can have the passenger route plan while the driver follows the route on CarPlay. I’m going to keep playing with it and seeing if there...

Hello from Texas! Austin area. We have been overlanders for a few years now, with trips all through the west. Mostly Colorado, NM, and TX, but also NV, and UT a lot. Family of 4 with two big dogs and we hammer trails in a 4x4 sprinter. We love finding remote hard to get to spots using Gaia...
