I'm in. Love me some Colorado. I was planning a trip to CO. this year before I booked the trip to Utah in Sept. We would need a cabin.
Sweet!

Looking for input on best RV and TT routes in and out of Taylor Park. Want to be able to have info for the people that will be attending.

A few of us will be coming up from the South.
Anyone with experience towing from Durango to Taylor Park would be awesome.

Unless you need to go to Durango, I would head up I 25 to Pueblo then turn west on Hwy 50 to Salida and over Monarch Pass and into Gunnison, right on main st. North to Almont, right to Taylor Park.

Is that route a good towing/ motorhome route?

A few of us are going to stop in the LakeCity area for a day or so on the way up. How bad is 550 towing from Durango to Monteose?

You have to do the Ratan Pass over the New Mexico/Colorado border, it’s not terribly steep, but a pull, and I’d say 8-10 miles up the south side and 6-8 miles down the north side.

Colorado requires a $25.25 permit for all ATV......Lake City and some areas require liability insurance and helmets if under age.....
I may not be going on the trip next year but the aspens usually peak around sept 15.... great time to be there.....
I am going back to Buena Vista... st Elmo area in two weeks ....with a group of ATV guys who still have not figured that belts are to hold up your pants.....
We will be riding the 13..14..15... anyone is welcome to join....
