The wife and I are driving to Morrison, CO for a concert at Red Rocks Ampitheatre on June 2nd, so I'm taking this opportunity to turn the trip into our first "overlanding/wheeling" adventure. We're newbs to this, so I could use a little guidance.
I had hoped to camp near Telluride and Ouray and try Black Bear Pass but it looks like that trail doesn't open up until July, so maybe Engineer's Pass? It also looks like the reserved camp spots around that area are already booked up. I saw that some camp grounds are "first come first serve", but read that it fills up fast. I'm going to be using a RTT also, so I won't be setting up camp until we're done exploring trails and such. Any suggestions for places that we're likely to be able to get a camping spot at the end of the day?
If camping in Colorado isn't possible we thought we may just drive right to Moab after the concert on June 3rd. What are the must do trails there that aren't more than a medium difficulty? It'll be just the wife and I, and she's not great at spotting. Any suggestions on campgrounds in that area?
