BFG KM3 MT 500mile Report

[John M BUNMAN]

Since I don't have the Raptor with me, I really don't want to start a thread on a Raptor forum.

First picture is our campsite. Second is a waterfall on the way to Imogene Pass, wife wanted to search for cool rocks. Third is on the way back down.

Short trail today, chance of rain, and first day on the trails here.

Love that area, thanks for sharing
Keep them coming, your welcome to hijack this thread The Million Dollar Hwy ROCKS
I can change the title to “The Desert & Durango”
Must have been exciting driving the Coach up 550 to Ouray!??

No, I won't do the million dollar highway with the MH. We came through Grand Junction and then south to Ouray. Did a couple of short trails today up by Red Mountain. Storms are due this afternoon and I didn't want to get caught up on a trail.

You said hijack, so here I go again.
Since yesterday it rained hard, we decided to stay on pavement today and drove the "million dollar highway" down to Silverton and back. Had a nice lunch in Silverton and wife HAD to buy a couple of things.

Gorgeous, did you stop at the bridge over the waterfalls/river? Thanks for sharing

We have done that before, didn't stop this time.

Hijack again. We did Governor's Basin and Silver Basin today. Governor is 12,300 feet and Silver is at 11,800 feet.

Yesterday we did the entire Alpine loop. Went up Mineral Creek (somewhat difficult) did the loop and came down Corkscrew. Even though I went pretty fast it took us 9 hours. The trail was really rough and plenty of washouts from the recent heavy rains. 90 miles of trails.

Today we did Ophir Pass and then went into Silverton for lunch.
