HI! I‘m an Associate MHJC Member, based in ABQ, NM. My main peeps are the New Mexico 4 Wheelers, where I currently serve as Trip Chair. www.nm4w.org This trip is open to members of NM4W and MHJC. This trip will be a week-long Overlanding adventure tackling the Rimrocker Trail. https://rimrockertrail.org/    https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rimrocker+trail The Rimrocker Trail, which runs from Moab, Utah to Montrose, Colorado, is considered easy and has a technical rating of 3. The trail is mostly made of graded dirt, but there are some rougher, unmaintained sections. The trail also includes rocky two-track, aspen groves, red rock, sheer cliffs, and rivers. The Rimrocker Trail is 160 miles long and full of scenic vistas, historical sites, and great camping. It is only open in the summer months. This Trail is often run by Jeeps or small/midsize trucks, with rigs sometimes pulling compact Overlanding trailers. While I do not expect to use lockers or winches, we will go prepared for anything. While most folks run this trail west to east, beginning in Moab and ending in Montrose, I want to run it the other way -> east to west, beginning in Montrose and ending in Moab.  Please note my listing of this run as Moderate - the Rimrocker Trail on its own is relatively easy, however the general Overlanding and multi-day duration element of this trip will require a much higher level of commitment and preparation from participants than typical NM4Wer day runs. This trip is limited to 10 rigs to allow for easier caravaning and camp site locations along the Trail. The goal is to cover 30-40 miles of trail/day, depending on the wishes of the group. ***As of Feb. 21, 2025 - NM4W has 5 rigs going on the main run, with several folks still TDB. Pre-run from May 31 - June 3-ish in the planning stages. Contact me if you‘re interested and I‘ll pass along full info. :-)

Just outside of Idaho Springs the Cascade Creek off-road trail is one of the many trails that are close to Denver, Colorado. This rocky road travels under the cover of the pine and aspen trees in the Arapaho National Forest and can be used as a 4WD route between Idaho Springs and Georgetown when combined with Saxon Mountain. It is part of a network of several other trails that can provide a full day of wheeling that is close to home.

Known as the backway into the Great Sand Dunes, Medano Pass offers travelers a very unique experience you will not find anywhere else in Colorado. One of only a few primitive roads that cross the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Medano Pass follows the route of the 1806 expedition of Lt. Zebulon Pike, revealing breathtaking scenery, abundant dispersed camping, countless water crossings, and deep sand you generally only find in desert environments. The Great Sand Dunes are the tallest dunes in North America, rising to a maximum height of 750 feet from the floor of the San Luis Valley, covering about 19,000 acres. If you are looking for the only beach-like offroad experience you can find in the Rocky Mountains, Medano Pass is certainly a trail you need to see. This trail is a 22 mile 4WD trail. You will need a high-clearance 4WD vehicle to navigate the soft sand, creek crossings and rocky sections of the road.

We will drive south from Castle Pines to the Medano Pass Primitive Road on day 1 and search for one or more of the dispersed camp sites located off the road approximately 7 miles into the trail. Day 2 will consist of driving the trail east to west towards the Sand Dunes. We will then set up camp at another dispersed site about 15 miles into the trail, then drive to the Sand Dunes and explore the area by Jeep and foot. On day 3, we will drive west to east towards the start of the road and camp at another dispersed campsite near the eastern trailhead. We will drive home day 4.

Drive time on the primitive road is about 3 hours so we will have time to explore the area and add in a hike or two around the Sand Dunes and up to Medano Lake if desired. Please bring your own camping/hiking supplies, food and plenty of water. Pets are permitted but must be leashed.

Meet up at Ziggi’s Coffee at 10am on July 14th. 7298 Lagae Road, Castle Pines.

The Transfer Trail, situated near Glenwood Springs, Colorado is the main overland route into the White River National Forest SE Flat Tops area. The road delivers you deep into the heart of meadows filled with wildflowers, thick forest of spruce, fir, pine and aspen trees and scenic lakes. Mixed into the experience are vistas of the distant Elk Mountains to the south, and No Name Creek when you find yourself at Windy Point overlook. This off-road route was originally part of the Ute Indian Trail System, then later became a toll road for the Hip Roof Saw Mill at Windy Point. A sheep farmer then bought the land and herded sheep in the area. The old road system connected through the Flat Tops to distant towns such as Meeker and Yampa. Although the Mill and much of the old road system is long gone, the Transfer Trail remains.

We will drive to Glenwood Springs on day 1 and up to the Transfer Trail about 10 miles in, then head towards the Bowen Lake Loop to set up camp for the first night at a dispersed camp site located in the area. On day 2, we will leave the Bowen Lake Loop area and drive the remainder of the Transfer Trails and depending on the trail conditions, add in Grizzly Jeep Road or drive part of the Blair Mountain trail and find a new campsite for the night about 6 miles in at Adams Lake or Elk Lakes or continue on just past the summit about 11 miles in and camp around the Blair Overlook. If we decide to add in another day, we can drive back down Blair Mountain onto Coffee Pot Road about 15 miles in to set up camp for the night or return via Coffee Pot Road towards Dotsero and head home.

Please bring your own camping/hiking supplies, food and plenty of water. Additional gas could be useful.

Meet up at Marion’s of the Rockies at 9am on July 23rd. 2805 Colorado Blvd, Idaho Springs.

A sheep farmer then bought the land and herded sheep in the area. The old road system connected through the Flat Tops to distant towns such as Meeker and Yampa. Although the Mill and much of the old road system is long gone, the Transfer Trail remains.

We will drive to Glenwood Springs on day 1 and up to the Transfer Trail about 10 miles in, then head towards the Bowen Lake Loop to set up camp for the first night at a dispersed camp site located in the area. On day 2, we will leave the Bowen Lake Loop area and drive the remainder of the Transfer Trails and depending on the trail conditions, add in Grizzly Jeep Road or drive part of the Blair Mountain trail and find a new campsite for the night about 6 miles in at Adams Lake or Elk Lakes or continue on just past the summit about 11 miles in and camp around the Blair Overlook. If we decide to add in another day, we can drive back down Blair Mountain onto Coffee Pot Road about 15 miles in to set up camp for the night or return via Coffee Pot Road towards Dotsero and head home.

Please bring your own camping/hiking supplies, food and plenty of water. Additional gas could be useful.

Meet up at Marion’s of the Rockies at 9am on July 23rd. 2805 Colorado Blvd, Idaho Springs.
