AZ > CO > UT and back!

[Az-jewel]

We’re doing a last minute trip this weekend!
Covid canceled our previous plans, so we are making lemonade and hitting some of our bucket list destinations!

I’ve read others trip reports and decided to do my own so I don’t hijack theirs!

Here is our tentative plan:

First day: drive from AZ to Durango. This’ll be a long travel day but we’ll stop when we need to (taking our 2 toddlers and 17 yo daughter so it’ll be a LONG day!)

wander around Durango- no plans yet.

Drive to Ouray - staying 3 nights
Plan to do Ophir and Imogene
plannto do the alpine loop
last day relax, swim, hang out in Ouray

drive to Moab - staying 3 nights
Going alone so I am trying to decide what trails to do? Going back end of September with my Jeep friends.

then we head home (long drive, and we’ll be stopping often but fine).

i will post photos as we go (if we have good wifi!)

feel free to follow along and give me ideas or suggestions!

The next day we took Engineer pass to Poughkeepsie Gultch! That was a fun and challenging trail! I skipped all the bypasses and made it up “The Wall” on my 3rd try. Lake Como is beautiful!!

then we went up to Hurricane pass over to Corkscrew pass and out Red Bird to Ouray.
