We absolutely love the San Juan Mountains out in the Ouray Area! Levi has a huge thing for Silverton with the mining history. However, we can't wait to see other parts of Colorado. We were out in Summit County last year, did Mosquito Pass & Wheeler Lake. Colorado is so beautiful!!

Sorta like choosing your favorite kid...but having done each of these trails multiple times I'd say your list is spot on with mine. I'd give honorable mention to Mt. Antero and Cinnamon Pass because of the American Basin spur.
@Coolhansolo Жыл бұрын
Definitely put Mt. Antero on your list. It has amazing camping on the trail near creeks and goes to 13,850 feet. The views are awesome its definitely a good one and lots of great trails in that area and Princeton hot springs down the road.

Some years ago I did a few of the trails in Colorado and wanted to do Black Bear but knew it was highly ill advised with a stock half ton extended cab chev which has very unimpressive clearance and a horrible turning radius and making some of those switchbacks would have been next to impossible. Of the 5 you listed I was on Taylor but starting from the Aspen side and in the dark which was not intended but will say when you can't see the trail edge beside you its unsettling, next morning went down the other side and picture a low truck with full running boards in the boulder section, it was a challenge with such a unit and the water was rushing pretty good at the entrance to the trail/stream and not a lot of room to make that turn with the rock walls/large boulder and no one to assist if I did get into any issues and no winch either. I talked to someone at the campground just before the taylor side of the trail and he couldn't believe it when he walked around my pickup and saw no damage at all. I had done Imogene, various other ones out of Animas Forks, one that struck me as unique from others is Mt Antero due to the altitude and height above the landscape.

Can someone assist me with a specific trail/trailhead name for the Flat Tops route shown in this video? There was mention of it being part of the enchanted rockies trail, but I've checked multiple map sources for that trail and nothing comes close to Glenwood Springs and the flat top area (it's all much further east by Silverthorne). I was planning to head into the flat top area in July and setup camp for a day or two, but according to AllTrails there are no off roud trails through that area. Hoping someone can tell me that alltrails is wrong! :) TIA

I've reference it several times, and was intrigued to see Pearl as your favorite since it was actually the only trail in your list that I've done!

Check out Ellwood Pass on East Fork road outside Pagosa Springs Co. There is a staging area at the bottom, East Fork Campground right at the start, and tons of dispersed camping along E Fork road two-six miles from the parking area. After you traverse Ellwood, head into the mining town of Platoro and get burgers and beer. 🥸
