I have a trip planned to Silverton/Ouray/Telluride in July, the 14-22, was wondering if anyone will be in the area and want to hit up a trail or two, it’d be nice to plan a day with someone else to ride with.

We had planned to go then but with the snow they have had it doesn't look like a lot of trails are going to be open til later.

Yeah, I had the trip planned and paid for before all the snow happened. So, I’m going, just hope I’ll luck out.

Even if some of the trails are closed, there should still be plenty of scenic trails to explore like Engineer/Cinnamon/Ophir/Last dollar/Yankee boy basin. Have a fun trip!

We've spent many summers in Silverton and they usually have the trails open by July 4th. They use D9 Caterpillars to plow them. We'll be there the last 10 days of June.
This is Corkscrew in June of 2015.

I live in Evergreen, CO and just picked up by first Jeep last night. I'm definitely interested in hitting up some trails. I may still be stock at that time as I build the coffers back up after buying the Jeep so probably not interested in doing anything too intense.

Nice picture indeed . . . Being their could be a tenuous time though ! I was in the SW part of Colorado 2 years ago in August - it was hot and dry and a bit smoky but still nice - I was on an extended fly fishing trip ! I have yet to experience the "Snow thing" (in my G.C.), but regardless of the Qualified-Jeep, this photo should ring some alarm bells . Never travel alone, always have comms, be Leary and aware for the potential of Mud/Snow slides (avalanches). By nature I'm the "cautious" type - 20 years of collateral duties in the Navy of "Safety Petty Officer" and "Damage Control Petty Officer" when attached to ships. ;) ps; muddy trails can be SLICK too. Go have FUN, don't mind me, I'm the overly cautious one . . . :LOL:

Nice! We spend a lot of time in Silverton as well and are planning on being there end of June and for 4th of July. Can't go wrong with their fireworks show and parade on the 4th.

What part of Iowa are you in Mike?

I'll be there at least a couple times but I don't think on those time frames. I think last week of June is one of the trips for sure and the others we'll just "wing it"

I will be in Summit County July 13th-20th, my brother who has a JK and lives out there said some of the trails will not be open but there will still be plenty of places we can have some fun.

I live around Cedar Rapids.
I used to be around CR and am close to Dubuque now. Have fun on your trip. It sucks that we don't have trails around here.

I don't have dates yet but I'm planning to take my family down Black Bear sometime after the 4th.
