I didn't get to the Ouray area as hoped due to work, but I hit some easy trails not too far from Boulder and stopped at Merus Adventure Park in Amarillo. Driving to Colorado and back with stops in Amarlilo both times, I averaged 18.3. I don't think that was bad with average speeds between 75-80 and on load E tires.

Having the Wolfbox air compressor (link) was such a time saver and anyone around me was amazed how fast it refills. It takes @ 30-45 seconds to go from 25 to 38 for each tire. I used to carry a ecoflow solar generator and a pancake compressor and that would take ~15 minutes for each tire and those 2 items took up a lot of room. I bought it on sale for July 4th and it has been one of the best items I have ever bought for a vehicle. We carry it for regular long trips in which ever car we are taking.

Easy Switzerland and Peewink Trails near Boulder. If you are with people who are not used to high elevation keep an eye out on them. My friend's son got altitude sickness at 8500 ft and didn't say anything until his symptoms were bad. I had to rush down to 5000 - 6000 ft for him to feel better.
