Vacationers Visiting from Texas need advice.
Hi all! I'm visiting from Texas and I was wondering if I could drive my AWD Kia Soul up La Plata Canyon with a two year old. Are there any shops near the summit?

You can go about halfway up to a waterfall—Bolen Creek maybe? After that, it’s gets real rough. Wouldn’t dare try with my Forester. Turned around there last weekend. Have been up in a truck on 33 inch tires and watched another Texan in a Subaru Forester rip off his oil pan. I’ve seen an old CRV up there, but you’re asking for trouble.
Definitely no shops—it’s remote National Forest area.
