Curt Gowdy State Park (WY) trip from Denver Area - R1T shined!

[DTown3011]

Had an awesome camping trip with the R1T up to Curt Gowdy State Park in Wyoming for some mountain biking over 4th of July weekend. My friend had a camper but it was great living out of the frunk and gear tunnels in the R1T and not having to unpack really anything. We used the truck for transport to and from the trailheads every day, multiple times per day, the camp leveling feature was awesome, and the camp speaker was heavily utilized. Being able to lock up the bikes in the bed was awesome with gear guard. Vampire drain was only about 1% per evening with Gear Guard ON so really no issues. Total efficiency was 2.11 mi/kWh with 3 bikes on the back and I went 228 miles and arrived home with over 50 miles to spare. Couldn't be happier! Also, anyone in the area I highly recommend Curt Gowdy for some awesome mountain bike riding with 2 great reservoirs and some solid camp sites!

The Thule bag is MONEY - it's so well designed. Doesn't leave my gear tunnel all summer.

All the good stuff is on the West side of the park. Gold Standard, Gold Watch, and Gold Rush are all new purpose-built trails that absolutely rip. Not sure I would recommend the EPIC. Lots of traversing and cross country style riding, not my thing.

Looks great! I’m going to have to check this place out! Are sups/kayaks/swimming allowed in the reservoirs?

Sups, Kayaks, boats, and jet skis YES. Swimming no, but that didn’t prevent us from cold plunging every day after riding!
