Hey everyone , new here to this thing they call Overlanding. We have a 2016 JKU Rubicon built for more rockcrawling but we had more fun getting there and exploring on the way so here we are rebuild time. We just moved here from Oregon where we loved just getting out. Started out last year doing a trip with my son down the middle of Oregon from Sisters to Crater lake national park was about 450 mile off road and we camped for 4 days was a blast. We are now in the Colorado Springs/Monument area and are looking to start exploring Colorado. Will have lots of Questions on the new build. Can't wait to get out there and meet up and see some great country.

***Updated*** Family Overland Trip to Crystal Mill Colorado
Good afternoon all! Me, my wife, my sons, and our dogs are going on a trip to Crystal Mill for the weekend, the altitude will be about 2,000ft above what we are accustomed to so we are bringing plenty more than what we normally would and I wanted to share our list. I may have forgot a few items...
Very nice write up! This area has always been on my bucket list! Now even more so. May see if we can go the last week of July?Just did the run from The Springs to Marble and the Crystal Mill, def recommend to anyone in or near the area! The drive was beautiful!

Welcome! And what type of teardrop camper? Been looking at a few lately and haven't found one I really like.

We went with a civilized version....a NuCamp Tag. It's what they call a Boondock edition, so lifted and bigger tires/wheels. We plan to pull out there a ways, set camp, and then meander in the Jeep. The trailer isn't overly "ruggedized", but my wife loves it, and that makes me happy. Just put a 180 degree awning on it this week, this weekend we'll be trying it out.

Just looked one up and that’s Awesome! I like everything about it, now I get to try and talk the wife into it, she has been wanting one of the huge ones and I’m just not ready to pull a house out to go camping, I’m more of the roughing it type, but she wants something nice so maybe this will be it, thank you much!

Welcome to the Community Ricardo! I'm not sure about arvada specifically but we have quite a few members in the Denver Metroplex area. I'm up in fort collins but we all often do trips and trail runs together. What's your current comfort level in terms of trail runs? did it happen to be @CO.Ranger ? I'm down to put a trail run together this weekend if you're up for it.
Feel free to reach out to me any time! Hopefully we get to meet up sometime soon!

It was CO.Ranger I met up with him a few days ago to reprogram a few things on our trucks.
I did the ironclads totally stock with a jeep group and that made me sweat & got some trail rash. I did most of Argentine Pass but almost saw a jeep roll over & I went home after. So anything “moderate” I’m cool with.
I’m always down for a trail run. Hopefully my new tires come this week.
