TrophyHunter 15 Posted August 23, 2017 A gaggle of DR650 riders from ADV rented a house in Ouray, CO for the week and got after some of the loops. I picked up a used kayak and tossed the fishing gear in the back. I fished my way to CO over a few days and am mixing the two while in CO. Still here but wanted to get this started before my brain locked up. View from the deck of the rental house. Fishing is outstanding! We've had trout for dinner twice. We did Engineer and Cinnamon Passes and the scenery doesn't disappoint. Moving on to Imogene Pass at 13,100 feet. A group of wheelers from TX had a BBQ going at the top and we got to join in. Moving quickly at that elevation will throw your brain off a bit. The scenery just can't be described well enough. A few more days to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.JAJA 380 Posted August 28, 2017 Nice Area, Have to look more into it for the next trip , Well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrophyHunter 15 Posted August 30, 2017 Plenty of info on ADV and I have tracks if needed. Also, the area draws a lot of tourism for the local towns - good info and maps available at stores/gas stations, etc. Acclimate to the altitude (our rental was at 7700 feet) and drink lots of water.
