We have no specific time line, only to be in northern Ca, Chico, by Thanksgiving. We want to go to So Utah after Quartzside, Sedona, maybe So Idaho time permitting and then No Nev. Our goal is to ride sxs in these areas and sightsee as well. We will take I-10 to Quartzside as that is our planned first stop. Thanks

Sorry edited the first post with a map - I'd save the I-10 for the return trip as it will be cold and much of what is available now will be gone, in the Winter Cold.

With your Toy you would likely enjoy Colorado and many of the 4X4 trails, along with Moab and the many opportunities there.Often even the High mountain trails take some time to get snow so you might get lucky - IMHO - there are no trail Like the Trails in Colorado for 4X4'ing, except for maybe Moab.

http://www.cotrip.org/map.htm#/default?StillCameraId=10829 - move around the CDOT map to see the weather before you go - From my experience you need to get North First not later - we have driven across Colorado as late as Thanksgiving with no issue - Need to really keep you eyes OPEN, as the weather will change in a Flash.

If Denver/Golden is not to your liking you could come in further south on RT 160 or 50 and get across some beautiful Country before getting to More beautiful country in Utah.

Son lives in Colorado and they have already had the first real snow - 8" - just outside Denver - only lasted til noon but still would not be fun to drive in. It's 70 now in Denver and 95 in Yuma so - not where you want to be yet.

Look it over - think about it and see if I can be of any help.

Sounds great, Best of Luck,
