Fall Legends

Fall Legends trip:

----Trail Leader----

Brad Peterson

----Trip Dates----

September 12-20 2026

----Trip Description----

We will be using the Grand Mesa Jeep clubs amazing route planned by Jerry Smith, a legend in his own right and fine tuned by Mike Wilcox. I normally spend hour pouring over maps to make exceptional routes but came across this which embodies what I was thinking in the first place. I thank the Grand Mesa Jeep club for such a gift and ask as many as possible to join me in this amazing adventure to honor Jerry and Mike. It will be challenging to complete as much of the loop as possible and I may remove a few optional sections to ensure we experience the vast difference in terrain. We may catch some fall colors creeping in which will make this even better!
