Signal Butte to Phantom Creek, up north of Divide/Florissant Colorado, above Colorado Springs. This one runs mostly through forest, as well as through the 2002 Hayman Fire burn area. There is dispersed camping scattered throughout the area. Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument is nearby; this is where we have seen some of the largest elk herds in this part of the state.

Here's one of the many trails in the Texas Creek Recreational Area (BLM); it's north of US 50 at the intersection with State Highway 69. This is west of Canon City, CO. Once you get west of Canon you are driving along the Arkansas River; there is some excellent fishing and white water rafting along the highway between here and Monarch Pass.

The Rampart Range/Mount Herman road is an easy one. It runs along the Rampart Range from Monument down to the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs/Manitou Springs. About halfway down from Monument, you can take a side trip over to Woodland Park.

There are some 'spur' roads that run off the main road, with dispersed camping and some good scenic turnouts.

There are also some great views of Pikes Peak - "America's Mountain." And, from Manitou Springs, you can hie back up US 24 to the Pikes Peak toll road, and go up to the top of the "hill." That one is paved all the way now.

There are some decent commercial campgrounds in Woodland Park, Green Mountain Falls, and Divide, as well as Mueller State Park south of Divide.

The Cordova Pass road runs from State Highway 12 (the Highway of Legends) @ FS 364 south of La Veta. It runs east-west on the south shoulders of the Twin Spanish Peaks. The John Farley Wildflower Overlook is a half-mile or so in from SH 12. There is a lot of private property along this road, so some caution is required on side trips so as not to run afoul of property owners.

There is parking available (for a fee) at the top of Cordova Pass, with some hiking trails running north that offer spectacular views of West Spanish Peak.

Lathrop State Park near Walsenburg on US 160 can serve as a good base; the campgrounds there are excellent. There is also a small commercial campground in La Veta that is quite nice.

Yep. Still haven’t made it to broken arrow but it looks so fun :facepalm:
It is amazing and the Devil's Staircase is a blast. My JLUR is still stock, but I did add skid plates and they got minor beauty marks from it. A guy with a 2" Mopar lift and 35's told me he didn't scrape at all.

Based on these trails, I am going to make a road trip so I can hit the majority of those in Colorado and Utah as I go to Glacier National park next summer and back down through Yellowstone and Grand Tetons (stunningly beautiful) and then into Utah to go to Moab.

Pikes Peak is not an off-road experience - the road is paved all the way to the top now, though there are very, very few guard rails. There have been some spectacular dumps during the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Google 'em for a vicarious puckering.

Nonetheless, this is a great trip especially if you have kids. The view from the peak is what inspired whatsername to come up with 'America, the Beautiful.'

We like to do this one in the winter. It's our annual donut run. As you can imagine,this one can be quite iffy in the winter. You have to monitor the weather and the road condition closely. The weather may be clear as crystal but the road may not be open all the way to the top because of ice and snow. No donuts if you can't get all the way up. If you do get all the way up, be prepared to flee the scene if the weather changes, as it is wont to do.

It's a toll road. Adult (16+): $15 | Child (6-15): $5 | Carload up to 5 people: $50. There used to be a discount for old gasbags but I do not see that listed now.

There are some very nice picnic areas along the way, as well as some spectacular hiking trails during the summer and fall.

The summit is 14,110 feet, so the oxygen molecules are few and far between.

The wind at the top - anywhere above the treeline but certainly at the top - can be nothing less than vicious. A good windproof/waterproof parka is a very good thing to have. And gloves.

Mountain goats, bighorns, mulies, elk, the occasional bear, and multitudes of lesser critters abound.

A new Summit House is under construction but the old one is still open. While the construction is underway, during peak tourist season you can't take your own vehicle up to the top because of the construction traffic, but they have parking and free shuttles at mile 16. As of 19 Oct, the road is open all the way for personal vehicles.

Here's a link to the website; there's a FAQ list partway down.

If you're heading down from Grand Teton and haven't yet, take the Moose Road into Jackson Hole, then west over to Wilson, then south down Fall Creek Rd to Hoback. Dispersed camping up Mosquito Creek and further south.

I'd also recommend following Hwy 89 south down along Bear Lake at the UT/ID border, then over to Logan and Brigham City before continuing west out to Promontory and the Golden Spike monument. Paved to the monument but continue past out to the north shore of the Great Salt Lake to the Spiral Jetty art installation.

Though, you know, time constraints and all that I guess... ;)

I have been lucky enough to have camped in both Grand Teton and Yellowstone with my wife and kids. It is a beautiful area, but I will take your recommendations as our trip in 2015 involved a Chrysler Town & Country and it didn't inspire the same "Let's see where this goes" type of mentality the Rubicon does.

Thanks for the info, I personally have tried to make it to the top in my Jeep about 5 times. Each time the road was closed near the top and I had to turn back. I only made it to the top once and that was on the Cog Railroad…

Medano Pass Primitive road can be a real challenge, or it can be quite a pleasant, relatively mild off-road experience. The west end of it is in the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.

https://www.nps.gov/grsa/index.htm

During the spring and early summer, the snow melt still has the creek flowing fairly hard. The water tends to be deeper, and faster moving. And, afternoon thunderstorms can turn an otherwise pleasant drive into a nightmare. This video posted by some of our overseas friends and neighbors demonstrates just how 'exciting' it can be:



OTOH, a trip up or down (or both) the road during the fall - late September, for example - can be an entirely different experience. By then, the snow melt has dissipated, and the summer thunderstorms are gone. Also, there is usually far less of a tourist crowd, though this most recent trip of ours still saw quite a few on the road. COVID seems to have driven all kinds of couch potatoes outdoors.

On a Fall run, the sand at the dunes end of the trail tends to be dried out and more likely to suck your Heep into the pit of despair. But like any running on sand, the trick is to drop the tires down to about 20 psi. Some go even lower, but 20 psi has always worked well for us. And then, barrel on through at a steady rate. 4H has always worked for us. There are enough solid/stable wide spots in the sandy area that we have been able to pull off for other traffic without getting stuck.

Once past the sand, the road turns into a typical dirt/gravel one lane mountain road. Some spots are quite rocky (we popped a sidewall on a sharp bit of granite on one trip) but if the driver (and she knows who she is) is not listening to the passenger (he knows who he is) and paying attention, that sort of thing should not happen.

This last trip there was a short section that was wallowed out more than usual but our stock Sport S JLU didn't have any problems with it; we crept through carefully.

None of the nine water crossings present a challenge this time of year. We did have that early snowstorm this year, but when we did our fall trip a couple of weeks later that snow melt had already run off. There is enough water, however, to give any kids on the trip a thrill.

There is dispersed camping along the road. The NPS page linked below gives the mile markers where they are located. Pinon Flats campground's in the main park. The NPS website has more info about that. There's also a commercial campground a few miles down the road from the main entrance, but while it's fairly decent, we much prefer Pinon Flats.

https://www.nps.gov/grsa/planyourvisit/medano-pass-road.htm

There are also some beaver ponds along the road which give some ultralight spinning opportunities for Rio Grande cuthroats - barbless hooks and catch and release only.

(https://www.nps.gov/grsa/learn/nature/upload/fishing-2020-508.pdf)

There's some good hiking here, and down in the main park area. There are bears here. We have not seen many, but they are here, and the campgrounds have bear boxes. Bear spray is highly recommended. Mule deer are as common as fleas on a mangy cur.

There is an air compressor on the park side of the road entry. If you are going all the way across, and not coming back through the park, you will need your own compressor at the other end.

If you are coming across from the east - that's where FS 559 intersects SH 69 - keep in mind there's a lot of private property on that side. Private property is usually well marked but be careful; trespassing is taken seriously down these parts. As long as you are on the road, you'll be OK. There is dispersed camping near the top of the pass on the east side, and in various places along the road. You won't be in the NPS until you reach the top of the pass.

Check with the rangers first about road and water conditions.

Alamosa National Wildlife Refuge is just east of Alamosa, CO, south of US 160. This is in the San Luis Valley, a high valley - about 7000 feet MSL - that runs from Poncha Springs in the far north down to Taos, NM in the far south, and from just east of Fort Garland over to South Fork on the western side. The Great Sand Dunes National Preserve and Park are on the north side of US 160, up against the western side of the Sangre de Cristos. The Rio Grande River runs through it, including Alamosa NWR.

The Refuge road is flat, slightly washboarded, but otherwise well-maintained. There is a visitor center, which may or may not be open; last we know it's manned by volunteers. There's lots of wildlife, especially birds, including sandhills cranes (mid-March and mid-October). There are beaver, deer - both whitetail and mulies, and sometimes plains elk. And bald eagles.

It is mostly riparian habitat.

This is a good side trip if you are visiting the Dunes for a few days, though our last trip we skipped the Dunes as traffic was lined up with a two-hour wait to get into the park. COVID-driven tourism really is an abomination. Important note: Before going, check the refuge website for seasonal closures for the protection of certain bird species.

Pack a good supply of water, and a picnic lunch. It's a fun trip.

Here's our entire gallery, which includes some shots of La Veta Pass, and some overlooks of the SLV from the Zapata Falls road.

That's Blanca Peak on the right, about fifteen miles as the crow flies. If you are looking for a gut-buster off-road experience, that's one for you. https://funtreks.com/off-road-trails/blanca-peak/ Just to the left of Blanca we have California Peak, where in December 1965 a Super Connie missed clearing the peak by 150 feet.

This exuberant little fellow is a yellow-headed blackbird ... or, as the ranger up in the Seedskadee NWR (there are flocks of them up there) pondered ... is it really a black-butted yellow bird?

And here we have the Great Sand Dunes, about 20 miles or so as the crow flies. Mt Herard is the high point at the left; Medano Road crosses the notch just to the right of Herard.
