Shenanigans in Ouray!

[Nimrod]

Ouray is such a fantastic place. Had an epic week of hiking and offroading.
Used the funtreks guide book with their gps chip in a garmin. Made it so simple to follow and find trails even a nimrod could do it.

Looks like a fun time.

More fun!

Moose’s and mines galore!

We did pretty much everything we wanted except black bear and Poughkeepsie.
Imogene and mineral creek were fun!

Damn! Went up those exact trails last September in my buddies taco. Figured they would be too narrow for a raptor especially Imogene Pass but guess not. Glad you made it in and out unscathed. Great pics.

peeps in jeeps we’re looking at me like “why you got that big thang up here?” Lol. We did just fine.

My wife drove both Ophir and Imogene pass. I sat right seat and coached her but if she can do it anyone can.

Are those all day runs from Ouray? My Mom lives in Montrose and I'm headed over to visit next month. Might take the Raptor then.

Very cool! thanks for sharing. We did Ophir, Cinnamon, Imogene and some other off roading a few years back. Imogene was the most fun and it was really cool going into Lake City. Great trip and I'd love to get back there.

We didnt do Engineer because at the time, people thought a Raptor was too wide/long to make the switchbacks. What was your take on Engineer? Were there any other passes you did that werent as bad as their reputations for Raptors?

We are going to Ouray the end of August for 3 weeks, but I think I am going to chicken out and take the Jeep.
