All we know thus far is that we felt safe with Phoebe the bush dog looking after us... (seen here... in a bush)

Image

The mighty group met up at 9am once again with plans of a looooooooooooong day... 70 miles of trail!!! :shock: The trail was up Mineral Creek to the Engineer Pass trail all the way to Lake City. Then we head down the Cinnamon Pass Trail to the Carson Ghost Town and all the way back to Ouray.

Image
The group airs down for a long day in the driver's seat.


Image
MtnLvr starting the long climb... (this was before he decided to drive off the trail :lol: )


Image
Some fun obstacles along the way... Troysterr got to test his locker out.


Image
Climbing the narrow shelf road to the top of Engineer Pass


Image
Red's Jeep seems oddly happy up here


Image
Many miles later... the Carson Ghost Town... People were getting grouchy by this point :lol:


Image
Some cool sights along the way.


Image
Trying to beat the sunset and make it off of the shady side of Cinnamon Pass.


Image
Daniel posing in the sunset....


Image
Heading back to Ouray from Cinnamon Pass... ready for some chow and sleep...

Enjoy!!!

Here's some more photos, with some quicky captions as time permits before hitting the trail again today:

Image
MP Jeeper cruisin' up a shelf road in Mineral Gulch

Image
0311_DOC navigating the trail

Image
Cruisin' toward blue sky....

Image
First group "official" stop. I don't know what the black 4-legged wild animal is ......

Image
Durangotang, tskalil, yellow coyote and 0311_DOC navigating a switchback in the high country

Image
The beautiful scenery was a perfect backdrop...

Image
Durangotang and tskalil driving the ridgeline

Image
(no caption necessary)

Image
Group stop checking out the scenery from a lookout peak

Image
Ya think much snow falls up here during the colder months?

Image
Descending into another beautiful valley

Image

Image
Came upon this old dam and then saw....
Image
...this marmot running across the top of it to get away from all the people (and dogs)

Image
Always interesting how these old ruins won't photograph in color :wink:

Image
The lowering sun is only adding to the visual contrasts and appeal

Image
tskalil's KJ parked up on a beautiful mountain pass as the sun is contemplating setting

Image
MP Jeeper with his dual recovery dog options ready to go

Image
The sun is getting low as we're still making our way to Silverton where many of us stopped for dinner (before dodging deer and elk on the drive back to Ouray in the dark)

Awesome! I did Cinnamon pass in my KK a month ago. Hopefully I can get a few mods bolted on and get out there for next years safari.
