Good suggestions Chad. Been to wheeler once a LONG time ago. Would like to go back! There is many many roads that are pretty and secluded in the San Luis Valley. Ouray - yes! Black Bear Pass is amazing! Return on Imogene.
Man, there are some places in this state that are truly amazing.
St. Elmo area (hancock pass, etc) is very pretty. Williams Pass is cool, and just on the moderate side of an easy trail, but only open to vehicles in August. There are some tougher roads too, like Grizzly lake & Iron Chest.
Mosquito Pass is cool, if for nothing else to say you've driven the highest driveable road in North America.
Blanca peak is tons of fun, but takes a pretty well built rig to get up there. The Sand Dunes are nearby, or there is also Madeno Pass to the back side of the dunes. Can have deep water in the spring.
Holy Cross - like Blanca, is very pretty, but takes a serious rig.
Bill Moore Lake is cool, but it has been many years since I have been up there. A moderate rig was required back then.
Never made it to the Crystal Mill, but that looks cool.
I am coming up empty for places to go in a 2wd car. Maybe Garden of the Gods?
It'll be interesting to follow this thread and see where people like to go based on their interests.
