Can You Conquer Van Wild's New Trail Quest?
Key takeaways
- Trail Quest replaces a fixed trail leader with a GPX map containing roughly 50 to 100 waypoints across Western Colorado.
- The map spans the San Juan Mountains, Uncompahgre Plateau, Montrose area, and nearby destinations.
- Participants can choose difficult mountain trails or build a paved day around breweries, hot springs, scenic overlooks, wineries, and national parks.
- Every waypoint earns points, and harder routes can be weighted more heavily than easy stops.
- Top competitors receive custom-built trophies and prizes.
- VanWILD is centered on camping, wheeling, motorcycles, campfires, food, and community—not a sales event or parking-lot meetup.
