2026 Trip Planning - Trans-Rockies Adventure Trail

[TellurideTremor]

Is this open to anyone? If I can get the time off I’m tempted to road trip from TN and join in. I’ve talked about doing something like this for years but can never get anyone local to me to tag along.

Open to any and all

What's the latest on this, schedule wise? I'm planning to join for Moab. I'm also interested in joining some or all of this route, though have some logistics to figure out as I was planning to bring the trailer down for Moab.

I've done a good portion of the UT route before in other vehicles, so the CO portion is very interesting. Would also be thrilled to do the UT portions post-Moab with others on the list.

@Godzilla/Tremornator is waiting on me to finalize my work schedule. Right now we are thinking last week of July and first week of August. Starting around Colorado Springs

 

[gsea]

Okay, so sounding like it is lot going to be aligned before/after the Moab meetup? I typically spend July and August in WA, but let me know when you get some clarity. I'd love to make at least some portion of it should schedule allow.

Do it! Seriously. You'll be so glad you did. I've done the drive from TN a few times. Not too bad.

Ill keep an eye on this one, as I could make this start.

 

[Godzilla/Tremornator]

any luck with schedules?

any chance on firming up a start date?

 

[FuelTankReInforcedSkidPlt]

I can meet you all on the weekend, but late July early August I'll have to work.

not sure on the actual go date yet. @TellurideTremor is still sorting out his schedule too. @speeddev is out altogether on this go. he said, he was still in for the moab meet-up though.

tentative starting plan was the last week of july. not sure if that is still when we'll get started.

stay tuned

if this doesn't work out where you can join us, try to make the moab meet-up. end of sept.

then
anytime you can get out, if you want/need a tag along just let me know.

been know to head north to the arctic ocean on a whem. so, just say where/when!!!!!

 

[Godzilla/Tremornator]

well poo!!!!!!

this seems to have fallen apart. at least as the original group plan.

I'm thinkin about early September. Pikes peak to moab. hang out till the moab meet-up. then, lockhart basin to capital reef back country trek after the meet-up.

looks like I'll be solo unless anyone is interested & schedule allows.

any and all that want to join are welcome.

friday august 28th head to pikes peak. 12hr drive, 725miles, not sure if I'll head out early & get there that evening. probably split it up, camp somewhere along the way. then camp around pikes peak somewhere saturday night august 29.

should be a good spot & date if anyone wants to make plans.

play & explore, getting across the rockies to the moab meet-up by sept 24. maybe a little earlier???

see ya'll in moab!!!!!

 

[gsea]

Let me know the particulars of the route plan. I can’t do the whole month like you, but may be able to join for the tail end, a few days before Moab.

We just picked up our Tremor and we're in N Utah. If there's some interest in running either a CO or UT portion in August or early Sept I would be interested. We've got a baby coming at the start of October so I want to be home the latter part of September.

We'll be in Colorado around 8/21 to hit overland expo and plan to take a week playing around on either side of that, it would be cool to get together with anybody that's interested while we're out there.

looks like I'm going to try to hold back in Colorado (alpine loop area) till just in time to make moab the 24th

Possibly, yes, though I was planning to have the trailer so route planning is key. I have some places I can leave it around Torrey and other spots in central UT.

Will you be on the trails full time over that period? We might be able to join you for a few days either before or after Aug 21st. I'm seeing Sept. 24th for the Moab meet though, are you killing time between Montrose and Moab?
