I was in Ouray last week and did a tour with San Juan Scenic Jeep Tours and then also did a couple on my own.

Yankee Boy is in very good condition, but is pretty dry. Most of the road out of Ouray to Camp Bird, just pass the Imogene split is dry, dusty and badly washboarded due to a poor grading job. The trail from there on up to the basin is in good shape.

The short, but very beautiful, Brooklyn Trail is in fantastic shape. If you've never done this trail and your out in the area, it takes about 20-40 mins and is a nice little drive with great views.

ADMIN - please edit to say Yankee Boy...my apologies...
 
My memories of Yankee Boy are of driving under a small waterfall, I have a pic of it, but it doesn't show well.
 
Pictures or it never happened.

Two good trails. I really like Yankee Boy basin.
On last year's Colorado Jeep-CJ.com trail ride we went on the Brooklyn Trail :chug:

Agreed. Will do!
 
Here's a few pictures from my trip in the San Juan's...

Here's an abandoned mine as you head up towards Yankee Boy Basin.
