Trans America Trail - Colorado | Part 2 | 13
We are back with yet another Overland adventure through the great Colorado Rockies. In this journey we venture up from Great Sand Dunes National Park to Salida, CO to get some dinner and rest. Salida has an awesome California vibe to the streets and is also known for some of the best eats in Colorado.
From Salida we try our luck climbing Marshall Pass and head deeper into the snow packed mountains of Colorado in our Jeep Wrangler. We managed to stumble upon some guys who suggested we take 50 to 550 instead to bypass the last portion of Marshall Pass due to massive amounts of snow pack. The temps change drastically up in higher elevation and the last thing we wanted it to get stranded up on the mountain with no cell service. We air up and take the detour on 50 to Montrose, CO where we hit the carwash and vibe out.
Our overland expedition through Colorado has taken a drastic turn towards the scenic paved roads in order to bypass the avalanche packed passes and dangerous condition in the hills. We came prepared but we know when to fall back and reroute to our next destination.
Our journey takes up through beautiful Silverton, CO and down into the great city of Durango, CO where we spend a few days editing and getting a taste for the atmosphere. We trek west into Cortez, CO where we hiked the Mesa Verde trail to the long lost city chiseled from the rock faces of the Colorado sand stone. The next day we find ourselves meeting a few new friends up in Telluride, CO. They take us to Last Dollar Rd. for the awesome views over the Rockies and we convoy back towards Montrose, CO to spend the night.
The Jeep has racked up 5,500 miles at this point in time cruising over to Moab, UT on the Trans America Trail. Dove Creek, CO has allowed us to pass over to Utah where we will continue our overlanding adventure on our TAT cross country expedition.
Colorado provided some epic scenery and some awesome hikes along the way. Unfortunalty the famous passes were packed full of loose avalanche snow and fallen trees. However, we did get word from a local that the passes will be cleared up by the 4th of July. We will be back to take on the adventure.
Shout out to 'Rocky Mountain Jeep Rentals' (Craig Anderson) in Salida, CO for the wise advise and tips for our journey west. A very genuine guy who knows this area better than any one else. He is very passionate about what he does and loves Jeeps! I will post his website below. He also caters to the TAT riders (Dual Sports or 4x4s) he told me is is always willing to lend a hand.
Overland Expo West 2019 is right around the corner! Cant wait to meet and connect with every one!
