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…

The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
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…
Quandary Peak!
As I sit here typing, I can’t believe we hiked a Fourteener last week. By reading about our adventures, you’ve already figured out we are a little extreme in our activities. Our friends call us X-Games and short a few hospital visits, we’ve earned the nickname. Hiking a Fourteener has been a dream of Mark’s…
Jeepin’ & Jettin’ Moab
Oh Moab, two days was not enough! We’ve been to Moab several times, although more times than I’d like to admit, our only stop was for gas. Our first time in town was technically a drive through on our way from Park City to Telluride. Yes, staying on I-70 to Grand Junction then south was…
Jeeping in Breckenridge
Breckenridge trails, here we come. This trip had been on Mark’s radar for a while. We love spending time in Colorado both in the summer and winter. Our Jeep is a veteran of the Telluride/Ouray area but this would be our first time in Breckenridge. We love exploring in our Jeep and were excited for…
