Air Up / Down
This is a good place to manage tire pressure in the vicinity of Taylor Lake if you plan to venture off the beaten path nearby. Great view of the reservoir from this spot.

AirBnB Condo
Not in video. We stayed in Telluride with friends for a few nights at this AirBnB.

Campsite Corridor
Along Texas Creek, there is a corridor that is dotted with decent dispersed campsites. While the sites are nice and secluded with stone fire rings in wooded groves near the creek, this area is also pretty popular. You are likely to encounter other campers, but fortunately, the sites are spread out. The farther you go east, the more you will need high clearance 4x4.

Coffee Shop
Very nice coffee shop in Mancos, Colorado. Charming!

Cumberland Overlook
Just a short drive up the ridge from Cumberland Pass, this overlook offers the best view of the valleys to both the north and the south.

Cumberland Pass
Cumberland Pass south of Tin Cup. A gentle pass suitable for stock 4x4 vehicles, offering great views at 12,000 feet, and relaxing drives. Some mine ruins and more technical 4x4 tracks nearby.

Gas / RV Dump Fill
Next to the airport in Montrose, Colorado, this gas station also offers an RV dump and fill. Not a lot of options in the area, so this is a good one to keep in mind!

Gas Station
Top off in Dolores en route to Telluride.

Gas Station
Topping off on diesel in Buena Vista, Colorado.

Grocery Store
The best place to stock up on groceries in Crested Butte.

Hayden Mountain Lodge
Hayden Mountain Lodge is a phenomenal private lodge at 11,000 feet, on the way up to Imogene Pass. Owner is a chef, and will cook for you. It is a great place to escape for a night or two in the mountains. Lovely setting. Flush toilets!

Hayden Overlook
At the end of a short hike from Hayden Mountain Lodge, this spot overlooks Imogene Valley. Easy hike and phenomenal view. Lodge guests only.

Junction
West to mine ruins, unexplored north to mountain pass. Rugged track and looks very interesting. Will have to come back!

Kate's Place
Phenomenal breakfast spot in Ridgway, Colorado. Be prepared to wait for a table during the weekend.

Lodge Parking
The road to the lodge is rough, and shares the route to Imogene Pass. High-clearance four-wheel drive is required, and it is best not to test this requirement due to the recreational traffic along the route. Park your less capable vehicles here.

Mexican Food
Passable Mexican food in Buena Vista, Colorado. Great margaritas.

Picturesque Waterfall
Just off the main forest road, at the start of a primitive track, this scenic waterfall is very picturesque and worth a stop if only to take a short break from driving.

Private Gate
Attempt to follow a forest road, but encountered a locked gate where it passes through private property.

Remote Mine Ruins
The ruins of an old mine. A few dilapidated log structures, and a gaping mine entrance in the side of the mountain. Keep out to avoid death.

Rest Area
Great place to stop to use the bathroom traveling to Telluride from Dolores. Also a good spot to let your old Land Rover to cool off after a long uphill drive.

Secret Stash Pizza
Very hip establishment in Crested Butte with amazing pizza and cocktails. A personal favorite of ours and highly recommended.

Tin Cup Ghost Town
The remote ghost town of Tin Cup. Historic mining town, but somewhat developed and actively occupied.

Too Steep
Turned around here, because the road up the ridge looked too loose and steep to attempt solo. Might be easy, but it is one of those things that could get ugly if things go wrong.

Vault Toilet
Remote vault toilet in under-used equestrian camping area. Great dispersed camping nearby.

Water Crossing
Texas Creek water crossing. Though some stock vehicles with high enough clearance or water-fording capabilities might be fine, high-clearance 4x4 vehicle recommended. Conditions may vary based on recent precipitation. Never attempt during flood conditions. Scout ahead and use extreme caution.
