Nearly all the high elevation mountain passes in Colorado will still be closed. It would be a pretty good time to visit UT Canyonlands as it won't be so hot yet.

I'm partial to Colorado in the summer. If I can help you with any route suggestions, etc, please let me know.

Is it safe to assume you're looking to do the popular trails around you Ray such as Imogene and Engineer passes?

First, I would recommend you not come before mid to late June because many of the most popular high elevation trails may not be clear till then.

Sounds like a great trip! Have you checked to see when Rimrocker usually opens? Since there is some elevation there it may be still blocked with snow in the spring. Also, have you looked at getting your white rim camping reservations, etc? There can be quite the lead time.

I think I have a Tembo Tusk beverage koozie I'll sell someone for $8.

Oh, I've spent my nights in Wal-Mart parking lots and have nothing against it. It's the idea of a ground tent on the pavement that just seems weird.

Thanks for sharing. I've got a friend that talks about this guy. I've been meaning to look him up. I agree with him completely. I'm a bit of a minimalist in this sport/hobby/lifestyle. I was honestly concerned about serving in my OB positions because I don't possess a skottle or...

I was assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that some would be uncomfortable spending the night in a tent in the Wal-Mart parking lot. And I'm not speaking from a safety perspective. It just seems weird to me. I'm probably the only one with that hangup. LOL. But maybe that's because I'm not a tent...

It would stink to stow the tent to later realize the switch was in override. It's a significant concern.

Oh, I completely understand. I don't know that the override was requested by the OP. I just incorporated it because that's what I would want.

I asked because I was wondering how comfortable folks would be in a tent at Wal-Mart.

Yes, that should work fine if you don't want the tent switch to override the trailer switches.

Is anyone planning a ground tent for their sole sleeping arrangement?

Thanks. I was under the impression that some portions were single track only and required a detour for trucks. I don't recall where I got that from, however.

I'd love to see the route you're planning.
