Sun Juan Area Exploration

[Adventure Jeep]

My family, friends and I go to the San Juan’s every year and spend as much time out of town as possible. I noticed a few people were heading that way so I thought I’d post some pictures of our trips. We are heading back the end of June thru July ????.... As long as I can possibly stay.

These Pictures were taken early August 2005

I have family in Pagosa Springs and Durango so I try to get their at least once a year.

That area has been like a magnet for me each mid summer, nice to see more of the snowpack hanging around over the last several years, though it has meant pushing my trips up there slightly later into July in order for me to catch complete rides over the highest passes. Always hoping that makes for better wildflower seasons.

I love the Blazer Chalet... It's one of the vehicles on my list.

amazing shot!

I liked my H3, picked it up in May o5 (it was a very early build) and drove straight to Moab, then Silverton / Ouray in August. It was very capable and comfortable.

Do you still have yours?
