Re: Where to go Jeepin' in CO?
Couldn't agree with Gary more.....
San Juans are incredible. And being that I'm only two hours away I might be
a little biased. THe SIlverton/Ouray are has a multitude of camping and
great wheeling of all levels. You won't get bored. Buy the book, Jerry
mentioned, you wont be sorry.
