GOX 2004 - Colorado Crossing

Route Information

Gathering of Xterras - Colorado Crossing will depart on Sunday morning 45 minutes West of Denver Colorado. Each day will consist of roughly 8-10 hours of 4 wheeling and highway travel. The trip has been structured to allow everyone to travel light, as there will be daily stops for gasoline, food and beer. There is no reason to weigh down your Xterra with 6 nights worth of beer and ice.

GPS coordinates and PDF format maps for the entire trip will be posted as we approach departure time and everything is finalized.
