    Default Corkscrew,California,Animas Forks and Yankee boy basin



    So I ran all the trails in the title this weekend. Ouray is definitely one of my favorite places in Colorado. Great scenic wheeling with the family and a new friend with a fully built 2nd gen on 35’s. I can’t wait to go back and do the Full Alpine loop. All the trails were easy besides a couple of fun sections on Yankee boy basin towards the top. Also 285 is completely open and the fires seemed to be mostly contained. Great trip!

    Great teaser pics! I can’t wait! Glad you had such a great experience
    The Ouray-Silverton-Durango areas have always been some of our favorite
    mountain towns to visit. But now that I got into wheeling I must go back.
    Wish work hadn’t piled up on me it would have been nice to go with you.
    looking forward to doing the clean-up run in a couple of weeks, see you then.

    Great pics. Last time I did any offroading in that area was 10 years ago. That's definitely one of the most beautiful parts of Colorado.
