This past September, while visiting Pagosa Springs, Colorado, my hubby and I decided to run the Alpine Loop out of Ouray. It wasn’t the greatest day, as it was cold and raining on and off, but we still had a blast. We intended to run more trails the following day but cut our trip short due to the inclement weather.

I hope you enjoyed the videos and photos of the Alpine Loop. Next up: The Silverton Train.

My husband and I are avid lovers of off-roading. When we moved to Wisconsin, we bought our first side-by-side, as I rolled our 4-wheeler one time too many. Someone is with me because I rolled that sucker on a very steep mountainside and lived to tell the tale. Let me tell you, it was a rough ride back down the mountain.

Now we own a CFMOTO ZFORCE, and I love it. We visit friends in northern Wisconsin and run trails, and we travel to Colorado for a couple of weeks each year and off-road all over the place. This past year (September 2024) we went to Pagosa Springs and ran trails outside of town. The below videos are trails averaging a 3-5 rating. Nothing crazy. We were happy to be out enjoying a nice sunny day with the wind in our faces. This is just a taste of the videos I plan to upload more frequently, along with my travel articles.

Adventure is wherever the desire takes you.
