If you are coming out to do some trails there are several doable trails in that area. It is actually doable year round. The only problems is there is supposed to be closers from Jan 1st - June 15th on many of the trails for wild life and environmental impact studies so if there are signs posted like these don't get caught disregarding them.
We have been out doing some trails this season and many of them are on the list don't have any of those signs and the gates that close the trails are wide open. (Not sure what is really going on)
I hope you have a good time, there is a lot of cool places to explore down that way.

Yes, half of the idea of the trip is to go off-roading in my new Cherokee, the other half is to do hiking, fishing, kayaking, backpacking, stuff like that.
The plan is to do the "gold belt byway tour" and do as many trails that branch off that all along the way.
Do you know if any of these trails will be closed in May?
- the bank loop
- bull park
- mount rosa trail
- mount baldy trail
- upper gold camp road
- the road to skaguay reservoir and beaver creek
- any other trails I should be aware of
thanks!

I am not sure on those trails, but don't foresee them being on the list. They are on my to do list with my wife. As they are much tamer than the usual trail we do. I think if I am not mistaken one of the trails is closed do to a flood a couple years ago. Have you seen this couples video?
I eventually want to transition into overland travels like this some day.

Those are some nice pictures. I just got myself a '96 XJ in tip top shape. I'm going to feel bad the first time it gets dirty and gets some road rash.... I'm looking forward to doing some wheeling in the Rockies!!!

Great looking rig! I wish I had all my mods done to my rig. I would love to go with you on a trail run. But with the way things are going it won't be back on the road for at least a month. I did get to go last summer to run part of the trails down in the Ouray, Lake city, Telluride and Silerverton area. I highly recomend spending a vacation down the. P.M. me if you want to join us some day.

Camero SS
What year is your Camero? Just after high school I helped my freind do the body and paint work on his 1968 which he bought all the trim to convert the body style to a 69 ss with the hood, spoiler and emblems....... we painted it with the classic racing strips (pango gold on black body) man those were the days working on our cars together, that was back in the early 80's. I feel like a kid again being able to work on our 4x4 rigs and the turn around and explore the mountains.

I have a white 2001 SS t-top. 68,000 miles. I've had it since 2014 and only put 5k miles on it. It's a little tore apart right now cuz I'm putting in LT headers and 3" exhaust all the way back. And motor mounts.... It's in really great shape!! I bought this one because it reminded me of times just after HS hahahaha. I graduated in 98, but a buddy of mine had a '99 SS. Ahhh the memories. Hahaha...
