We had big plans for our second and last day in South Fork. We stopped to buy t-shirts across the street from the campground and Mark chatted up an employee. She said the ride to Platoro was fun and a good place for lunch. After dinner the lackluster map was spread out on the table…

The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
RZR Adventures in South Fork
The next stop on our week-long RZR trip was the teeny tiny town of South Fork, Colorado. When I say tiny, I mean tiny. There isn’t even a traffic signal in town. Our home base was Peacock Meadows RV Park on the edge of town. We wanted to try the trails around South Fork after…
Gulches, Lakes and Mines
Our last day in Silverton came way too soon for my liking. We were having a great time and there was so much more to explore, I didn’t want to leave. As we were getting things together for the day, Ray our fabulous camp host stopped by to find out where we were headed so…
Stony Pass, Kite Lake and Rio Grande
Our second full day exploring the trails from Silverton was going to be epic. While reading up on the area, we discovered that we could get to the headwaters of the Rio Grande River. That would be so cool to see. Now, in my head, the headwaters to a river are more like a spring…
Colorado’s Famous Alpine Loop
Our Colorado RZR Adventure was about to begin! Sitting around the fire the night before, our fabulous camp host Ray stopped to ask where we were going the next day. Mark grabbed our guide book and they went over the route. Our plan was to take the famous Alpine Loop over to Lake City for lunch…
Climbing Kendall Mountain
Of course we started our Silverton adventure soon after arriving. After we got settled in and everyone was ready, Mark looked in our ATV Trails Guide Book for a nearby trail that wouldn’t take too long. In addition to the guide book, we also use the Polaris Ride Command App. Many times it will have…
Red Mountain Motel & RV Park
Our home base for our Silverton RZR adventure was Red Mountain Motel & RV Park on the southern edge of town. There are a few RV parks in town but only Red Mountain was able to accommodate our group of five rigs. Silverton recently voted to allow off-road vehicles to be driven in town on…
Portal RV Resort
Moab sits in the middle of nature’s playground in Southeastern Utah. There are two national parks and one state park within miles of the center of town. There are several campgrounds to choose from in all price ranges and on our last trip, we chose Portal RV Resort. Portal bills itself as Moab’s RV &…
Pikes Peak
Our first Fourteener! By car so it doesn’t count. This excursion was not going to be cut from our trip. When we started planning our trip we planned on taking the cog railway up to the top and were supremely bummed when we found out they company closed due to the age of the railway. …
Kayak Dillon Reservior
Our last day in Breckenridge was a little more tame than the previous days. Tame in the way that we didn’t use the alarm clock to start our day, yeah. We gave our bodies extra time to sleep after our huge hike up Quandary Peak the day before. Our gloriously late sleep in was followed…
