UPDATE II: A July 23, 1960, article in Grand Junction’s Daily Sentinel newspaper included a variation of the map that was published in the 1960 brochure:
========================
UPDATE: (See the 1959 Cavalcade brochure here).
Originally Published December 23, 2018: Many thanks to Chris for sending this wonderful Christmas present: An original 1960 3rd Annual San Juan Rockies ‘Jeep’ Cavalcade brochure he bought off of eBay. It was completely unexpected!
This tri-fold brochure opens to an 11″x17″ size, with photos, information and a map. Anyone know offhand if the entire route is still jeepable?
Yes, all these jeep trails are open today and are very popular. Many 4 wheelers come for extended period of time as there are more trails than the one listed in this poster. There is even a trail for rock crawlers outside of Montrose, Colorado.
Thanks Gary, I better start planning!

I don’t see too many photos of Jeep bed extensions, as in the brochure. It would come in handy for multiple day trips.
A lot of that is now called the Alpine Loop. I’ve been on it of course. Not all the way in my Tour Jeep though, yet….
