Lots of good areas around Gunnison and Crested Butte also. Pearl Pass, Schofield, Taylor Pass, Cement Creek, Lead King most of these are a little higher and sounds like they might not open this year. I used to live in Gunnison and my grandparents lived in Beuna Vista for a few years. I'll be out there last week of June first week of July, I'd meet up with you if the dates match. You can rent Jeeps in Gunnison, Crested Butte, Leadvill (I think) and Ouray for sure. Some real scenic stuff around Ouray. Hancock Pass area is a real nice run. Oh yeah cover up that evap canister or move it too. Have fun you'll never want to leave I miss the heck out of it.

I just did Cinnamon Pass and it was awesome. Amazing views and clear for any 4x4.
We tried to go to Schofield out of Crested Butte, but no way. Way too much snow.
So we went to Chinaman's Gulch and had a blast. WE made it to the ROckpile/Waterfall area before we had to turn back due to the time of day. But it was a blast.
I will post pictures when I get back to Dallas, but I hope this helps.

I was going to suggest the Antero area since you have kids. I climbed it (on foot) last year and was thinking the whole time "dang, there's a lot of Jeep trails through here." The biggest thing to watch for is the width of the trails, especially with drivers coming at you from the opposite direction. Antero is a great mountain.
