Re: Cont. Divide run
Wonder how long it takes to run the whole thing
Re: Cont. Divide run

Re: Cont. Divide run

Re: Cont. Divide run
Ah man!
I would so be in.
But not something the Subaru could handle.

Re: Cont. Divide run
Actually with this length of trip I'd rather have my own rig. Would have to have my dogs and camp. Not possible for me (and not nearly as fun to warrant taking off work) to do as a ride along. Thanks for the offer though!
Re: Cont. Divide run
You are welcome!! Just didn't want u to not go because of your rig.
Chris...how could we set this trip to meet the moab group by Oct 1st? Telluride to moab drive aug 31? Your thoughts? Even if we only did a portion of cont divide trail along with moab?
Start point say gunnison area..allow two days camp to get to telluride...then drive to moab..this way we are only gone 7 days..

Re: Cont. Divide run
I'd be interested in doing this. Maybe not the entire thing but I'd be interested.
Re: Cont. Divide run
I think this expedition would be an awsome thing to do. I have started some initial research on this. I can't access the link you posted aaron so i'm not sure what all that contains but here are a number of passes i have found that cross the Cont. Divide. This does not include 4x4 trails these are mostly paved roads with a few exceptions.
Rabbit Ears Pass-- near steamboat
Berthoud Pass-- Near winter park
Loveland Pass-- I-70
Hosier Pass-- Near Breckenridge
Freemont Pass-- Near Leadville
Tennessee Pass-- Near Minturn
Hagerman Pass-- Leadville to outside of Aspen
Independence Pass-- Aspen
Cottonwood Pass-- Buena Vista
Tincup Pass-- Buena Vista
Monarch Pass-- Highway 50
Marshall Pass-- south of HWY 50
North Cochetopa Pass-- HWY 114
Wolf Creek Pass-- Pagosa Springs
Obviously I know there are more routes esp in the silverton area. This is a basic list of the paved roads that cross the CD, I will continue to do more researching and see how many more routes I can come up with, and how to interconnect them all, with the least amount of backtracking and the most amount of dirt. STAY TUNED
Re: Cont. Divide run
id be down for something like this that is when i get money
Re: Cont. Divide run
Looking forward to some outline of the trails this would include, it's something I'd be very interested in doing. Aaron, can you get something from the link none of us can see?

Re: Cont. Divide run
Finally found the time to watch that from start to finish.
Holy cow, that sort of trip speaks to my soul.
I hope someday to have the rig, mechanical knowledge, mapping ability and good friends to attempt it.
