This video has Winter Colorado Scenery, Rabbit Ears Pass Camping Spots, Toponas Camping Spots, Radium Camping, Colorado River Headwaters byway, Inn in the Clouds Review, Top of the World Scenic Byway, Collegiate Peaks Scenic Byway, and we check out the state of Denver and Rio Grande's Tennessee Pass Route. This was our first attempt to tell a camping story.

Channel Info:
My name is Dewie Jones and I’m the reluctant host, videographer, and video editor for the channel. I’ve daily driven a wrangler my entire driving life starting with a 1997 TJ and now I’m in a nine year old 2012 JK. I like the challenge of driving a stock wrangler on tough trails. My buds are not new to wheeling either, but for their own specific reasons, now wheel aggressive SUV based offroaders like KL Cherokees, 4Runners, and Renegades. We decided Colorado Mallcrawlers was a funny name so that's how we got here.

For trail planning, I use the Funtreks Books (amazon search: Funtreks books). I have the current editions of the Colorado books and Moab. I finish up my trail planning with trails offroad as they can sometimes have more detail as well as user submitted current conditions feedback. I’m testing GPS apps and currently don’t use one. Here’s my video that tells you how I do it.    • Find offroad trails the BEST way!

As always, thanks for watching!! Your feedback helps me, so let me know if you can help me improve these. Share them with your nervous wheeling buddies (the Facebook groups never let me... self promotion apparently) so they can know that they can do the trail. Subscribe for more trails and offroad content.
