One night in Ouray, CO–Big Trip #3
We visited Ouray in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our day trip to Ouray from Durango in 2016 here. Ouray is right down the road from Ridgway, on the way to our next destination–a favorite from Big Trip #1—Durango. We visited briefly on that trip in 2016 on a day trip from…

One night at Ridgway State Park, CO–Big Trip #3
We visited Ridgway in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Ridgway State Park has been on our wish list map since our first Big Trip in 2016, and it made a good place to relax, reset, and come down from our Crested Butte high as we began the long loop toward home. The main…

Six days in Crested Butte, CO–Big Trip #3
We visited Crested Butte in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Crested Butte is our new favorite place! Our planned three-day stay turned into six. Luckily for our trip-extending needs, we visited juuuust as the weather was starting to get cold, and our campground was empty. The weather was chilly but still warm enough…

One night in Montrose, CO (visit #2)–Big Trip #3
We visited Montrose in October 2020, during Big Trip #3. Read about our first visit in 2016 here, during Big Trip #1. I’ve been on a nice little roll knocking out several quickie posts where we stayed places for a night or two, but don’t get used to that pace–the stop after Montrose is our…

One night in Telluride, CO–Big Trip #3
We visited Telluride in mid-October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. We were supposed to have two nights in Telluride, but we screwed up the dates and missed our first night, and our second night was the very last night the campground was open for the year. Too bad–we would have liked another day…

We stayed in Valley of the Gods in October 2020, during Big Trip #3. Read here about our first visit in 2016, during Big Trip #1. I spilled the beans about a super boondocking spot in my last post, so might as well keep rolling with the theme and tell you about another one. Valley…

We visited Capitol Reef in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our first visit to Capitol Reef here in 2016.

Two days in Escalante, UT (visit #3)–Big Trip #3
We visited Escalante in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our first visit in 2016 here, and our second visit in 2018 here. Northern Utah is great, but southern Utah is really special. There’s something about those red/orange/white/swirly deserts that keeps us coming back. This was our third visit to Escalante; read…

Four days in Park City, UT (visit #2)–Big Trip #3
We visited Park City in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our visit in 2018 here during Big Trip #2. Park City is a fun stop. The hiking is incredible, the food and cocktails are delicious, and with a big commercial area near the campground, you can easily restock supplies and run…

One night in Logan, UT–Big Trip #3
We visited Logan in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. With a one-day gap between Ketchum and our next stop, Park City, we looked for a spot along the way to spend the night in the woods with easy access to a morning hike, like we had in Stanley. We found it in Logan!…
