Default Aspen July 4th Taylor Lake, Annie Basin, Express Creek and Richmond Hill

Hey Everyone,

Im new to the forums and Jeeping although ive been following these forums for years while saving up. Lots of fun stories and good people here.

Went up to Aspen for July 4th and did a few trails, Annie Basin, Express Creek, some of Taylor Pass and Richmond Hill. Really fun times all around and it was nice to finally get my Jeep on some more aggressive trails. Wish i had gone with another rig as there were some awkward spots and im not that experience but we made it through with no issues. It was seriously some of the best mountain views ive ever seen.

Looks like ill have to start spending time in the colorado section to meet up with some new friends.

-Mike

I couldnt figure out how to post more than 5 photos, so there are more here, JKU in Aspen - a set on Flickr

Looks like an awesome time. Thanks for taking the time to share with the rest of the community! Did you get rain at all while you were out there?

We lucked out, no rain, but we made sure to run in the mornings. I think the best part was you end the trail at the bar / restaurant on top of Aspen Ski mountain. Great place to finish up.
