I live in the mountains and it's still 1.5h if that makes you feel any better

They're horrible trailers but they're cheap to rent.

Says I'm right at about 2 hours too, probably be longer in the Jeep. Shoot for 9:30ish? Sounds like it's just 4 of us?

@NDSpeed google trailer rentals, I found something like an AirBnB for trailers when I went to Moab

 

[NDSpeed]

i checked those. one wanted $600 for two days. another was $100 for 4 hours.

i rented the u-haul for two days at $105 and its in my little town.

The trailhead is on the fairplay side though right? Sounds like good weather

My dad and I camped at turquoise lake a few years ago and he took his truck around through BV and I took mosquito pass with my jeep and I beat him to Leadville by like 5mins including airing up and down

I will have to go along on some trip , my TJ hasn't gone down the mod. rabbit hole as far as your Jeeps. I doubt I could keep up.

Would you mind if I put my half door uppers in the back of your truck or something for the trail? They're nice on the highway but don't want them on the trail.

If you don't have space that's fine I'll just deal with the wind in the way out lol

 

[NDSpeed]

that’ll be fine. it’s a crew cab F350. lots of space.

Sweet thank you! That'll make the drive out much better

 

[NDSpeed]

i didn’t want to do 6 hours of highway driving. might as well take the more comfortable truck.

Thanks for taking one for the team

I'm bringing my camp stove and will have 3 spare brats+buns if anyone wants any. And I will probably have some extra space in the fridge
