Epic Colorado POTA Activation: Ham Radio Adventure Off the Beaten Path

Join us on an unforgettable ham radio adventure in the stunning Colorado Rockies! In this episode of our National Park Adventure Trip, we tackle POTA (Parks on the Air) activation at US-0008, the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park—despite it being closed due to wildfires. Thanks to Kyle AA0Z's insider tips, our crew navigates rugged badlands in a caravan that includes a rental car, pushing the limits with off-road thrills and wheels-off-the-ground moments! Watch as we pull off for an amateur radio satellite pass in a rare grid square, making QSOs on the fly. Then, we dive into the canyon for a challenging POTA setup, battling the terrain to get on the air and log contacts. After success, we unwind in the charming town of Ouray at a rooftop brewery, sampling local brews and soaking in the vibes. The day peaks with jaw-dropping mountain views, including a "Matterhorn" overlook and echoes across Box Canon. From radio challenges to epic vistas, this is ham radio meets outdoor exploration at its best!
