Looks like you're putting a lot of thought into planning this trip. 13 hours is a long day on the road! If your plan is MDH then Alamosa is a reasonable overnight stop. You'll be passing within about 15-20 minutes of our house in Cuchara. If you hit Walsenburg around dinner time, The...
Greetings from a Colorado peep! Ouray is an awesome place to get a good feel for wheeling in and the beauty of the mountains of Colorado. You and your wife will enjoy it.
You say your second night is somewhere around Alamosa. I would suggest you go a little farther the second day and stay...

Wear comfortable light hiking boots.
I have signed up and I've received the instruction booklet to see what its all about. It looks like it might be fun. I'm a little unclear on how it exactly works. My initial take is you follow the instructions and maps provided and answers few questions via a QR code after you finish one or...

In the up position they are about 3/4" lower than when mounted originally.
Open they are...
For me -
Off roading upgrades: A winch, tie rod braces, KO3's, rear shock skid plates, Rotopax gas and water cans, recovery kit, air compressor, half rack, traction boards
Other upgrades: Hot Head liners, ditch lights, electric steps (RC with steps replaced with SAS rock sliders)

Yes. On the several times I have done Tincup Pass we usually arrive in Tincup City around lunch time. Some eat at the restaurant (Frenchy's - thanks I forgot the name) but they also have an outdoor picnic area next to the pond. They let those of us who packed lunches eat there - most of us...
Very nice video! You captured Tincup Pass very well. But you did fail to mention the great pie you can get at the restaurant in Tincup City as a treat to end the ride!!
