Our stock 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Conquers Mineral Creek Trail | The Colorado Alpine Loop

- Today on Legendary Trails we take our 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road on Mineral Creek Trail - the gateway to the Alpine Loop. As with most of the four wheel drive roads in the San Juan Mountains they were originally constructed for mining. The town of Mineral Point or Mineral City existed from 1873 to 1890s. Its main purpose was a midpoint/stopping point for prospectors heading to the town of Ouray.
This trail features many rocky and steep sections in places. Stock vehicles can complete this trail as long as the appropriate time is given to each obstacle and you use proper tire placement and lots of patience. Pack extra patience for this trail. This trail is typically used as a quick way to get to different trails along the Alpine Loop or to reach the famous Poughkeepsie Gulch.
There is no room to pass on several places along the trail. There are many narrow ledges that follow some beautiful scenery and several waterfalls.
Did our Tacoma conquer the trail? Watch to find out!

Love this. I have a 2018 stock TRD off road and just took it to “Pole Hill Road, Colorado”. Had a blast and it preformed like a trooper
It's amazing how far you can get them!
What an inspiration! Thank you so much for making such an awesome video. I have been saving and waiting for YEARS to buy a Tacoma. I was finally able to order the one I've always wanted without having to make any compromises, and it should be here today or tomorrow. I can hardly wait to get out there and explore. I have no intention of lifting the truck, and you definitely confirmed that decision with this video. The capabilities of these vehicles is just amazing. I also like how you make your adventures a family activity. I'm a fan of your channel, for sure! Keep up the good work, and stay safe out there.
Glad you enjoy our channel! We love to adventure and have many more to come.
Tacomas are great trucks and are amazing stock. Hopefully you love yours as much as we love ours.
@@legendarytrails I look forward to seeing where else you end up!
How are you liking the truck? Which one did you get? Congrats
@@Jtwizzle Thanks. I got a ‘22 TRD long bed, double cab. Love it!
@@davidallsup2375 Awesome !
I’m about to get me a 2023 TRD Off-Road, can’t wait to have it
They're good trucks! You'll enjoy it!
Excellent Vid!! I 've done that trail a dozen times in all different vehicles and had as much fun watching you guys. Great job!
Thanks! It is a fun trail!
That guy can drive and i got to teach my woman to spot like that awesome video can't wait to watch some of your other stuff keep them coming awesome stuff thank you
Thanks! We have a bunch of adventures on our page and many more coming 😉
GREAT video and I'm glad you didn't drowned it with music. It was nice to hear the outdoors, the truck and you spotting!!
I highly recommend you take a drive up to Loveland and go to RCI Metalworks and get the full skids. It will set you back about a $1000 but definitely well worth it.!
Glad you liked our video. We've been thinking about new skid plates, but have been looking at tires as well.
I agree many great videos are spoiled by way to loud an annoying music! Wife did a great job spotting!
@@Adrian-jh5cr thanks!
Awesome video. You just boosted my confidence level in my Tacoma’s capabilities to potentially some dangerous levels.
Glad to help! 🤣
Just do it, my dude. It’ll be fine 😅
Good demonstration of a stock Taco TRD OR!!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. Beautiful country and awesome Tacoma.
Thanks!
My god, this section 18:44 had me yelling all the way from my couch!
I like this video! We have a 2021 Tacoma OR and wondered how we would do. I think Ya’ll did fine and that we would too! Thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Its a fun trail.
Awesome spotter!
Thanks!
Great video, I drive a 22 OR AC with factory Goodyear tires, I did update to a TRD PRO skid plate. These trucks are amazing
Our new 22 has the trd skid plate. It's been great having that option and we've already dinged it a few times. It's amazing the places they will take you!
Gotta love a woman that knows what she talking about ❤️ .... crazy you guys did this stock suspension and tires 😆 I was more scared than yall
Thanks! My wife likes trucks as much as I do. She hates mods so we keep all our vehicles stock as long as possible 😉
@@legendarytrails I love how you didnt even air down the tires!
@@Thejoeb the we're aired down, but not much since sometimes ground clearance matters more.
That’s sweet!!
Thanks!
@@legendarytrails for sure!
I air-down way more and have K02's but HELL YEAH
It would have been nice to air down more, but clearance was way more important to us this time. Glad you enjoyed watching! It was a fun trail!
I also ended up doing this trail accidentally in my stock tacoma got thought it but it was difficult great videos 👍
It's gotten way more difficult over the years. Glad you made it through the trail! It's fun, but nerve-wracking.
I accidentally did it in my 2012 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X. Stressful for sure if you aren't used to off-roading which I wasn't
Inspires me to off-road my stock Tacoma and not wait for “proper” tires.
Yeah, lol. Proper tires do give piece of mind, but the stock tires aren't terrible. They're just not great.
Video was cool 🤩
Thanks!
Yay for wheeling stock Yota’s! Show those built Jeep’s on 37’s what’s up.
It's amazing where they can make it stock!
Kool video
Thanks
Yea! I watched it all 😅
It’s crazy how much mineral creek has changed since I last ran it in 2012. Originally ran it in a modded FJ but I am running it in a stock 23 Tacoma off-road. Looks like it is doable. It looked like you went for some of the harder lines, is that correct?
We were surprised by how much it changed when we took our f150 in 2013. Erosion has been pretty bad in some spots.
Some of the lines we took were the harder, but most are the easier lines. The water fall crossing was the easier line at that time, but with all the runoff that might be different now. It's a fun trail and definitely doable in a stock tacoma. 😀
Nice video. You should demonstrate all your Tacoma capabilities on a really tough spot. Try in 2 wheel first, then 4x4 high, the low, then multi terrain select on rock setting and then on the mud setting, then lock the rear and no multi, then rear locked and with multi.
Thanks. We'll have to try to do that in an upcoming video.
tire pressure down to even 25 psi would have made a big difference maybe even no tire spin
Probably, but we forgot our air compresser so we didn't air down as much as we would have liked. 25 or 20 would have been ideal.
Very nice presentation of a tough trail. You say at the beginning that it is one way, but at then end you talk about turning around and going the other way. Which is it? Thanks.
It's both ways technically, but most people do it as a loop with either engineer pass or connect through animas forks.
Dude you even air down your tires?
They were aired down. With a stock tacoma, we only went down to 22 or so since ground clearance was also important.
👍 ❤MY🌮
I like your Tacoma. Ive had 3 of them and liked them well enough. I would've bought another one in September 2022 for a daily but couldnt find one eithout greed stickers. I liked your video except for that horrid intro music.
Thanks! Normally we don't use that kind of music in our videos. It was something we tried, but it doesn't fit our style 😉
Amazing how easy this trail is in a Jeep. Your Tacoma did well thou…
lul. classic jeepster
Are you using the stock tires? Or putting on 10 ply ?
They are stock tires.
@@legendarytrails wow I am impressed I just ordered my first Toyota. So I was concerned about the tires. I normally had full size trucks and needed 10 ply tires forsure. Maybe it's the weight
Awesome video it had me sweating lol
@@scooty5403 it was a nerve-wracking trip, fun, but nerve-wracking.
@@legendarytrails goodyears kelvar
Can you get there by atv?
Yes. You would have to park your trailer I'm the 550 staging area (pretty small space) or the lake city engineer pass lot.
@@legendarytrails you can’t drive to it from lake city?
@@Slowenchiladas I'm not sure what the ATV laws are in Lake City/Hinsdale County. If they are street legal than yes you would be able to drive it from there. Each county/city in Colorado has different laws for UTV/ATV use on the roads. Some restrict just speed allowed, while others have a list a roads. You'll probably have to do some research or call Hinsdale county for the correct answer.
👍👍👍👏👏🌹😘
Now I know how it feels when the Hells Angeles were mad about Doctors riding Harley. You are late to the brand and not helping I will take my 91 22r and demolish what you think you are doing or my 95 3rz-fe. Seeing people who are learning out is great but uour videos just keep stock tires and don't really test the vehicle. You actually show the reason for all the cheat or idiot crawl is in. But I haven't drove it and sand crawl out is a positive but I have limited sand.
Drink some water, Ice Man.
