There are a couple of roads that branch off. Make SURE you know where you are going. You could end up in a tricky situation. I have camped and rode dirtbikes up there alot. Lived in Georgetown and know that area. Be safe and know the route.
We tried that road last fall and got stuck on the first obstacle on 31" tires with no lift. Now I have 33" KO2s and a lift so someday may have to try it again. Correcting what you said- this may be the highest pass. There are numerous roads that are higher up and back such as Mt. Antero, Mt. Bross, and paved roads to Pikes Peak and Mt. Evans.
@@jdreaper2176 correct you do hand to hike the last 3/400ft! And any “secret“ 14ers I’d be aware of out here is the ones that don’t classify because of the trail heads starting elevation… but I will never know everything
Group of subarus just did it acouple weeks ago. You will be fine. i am "considering" trying to tackle this trail with my FWD, 5 inch lift- 28 inch allterrains, 2001 VW Golf Diesel.

OnX off-road
Loved it! Really appreciate the trail driving education! I haven't started yet, but hopefully will do in the coming year!!! Thanks
8:02 saw a 4runner rolled there about the time you published this video.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I love these NEWBIE videos.
Antero peak is 14200 ish and short wheelbase can pretty much drive to almost the top.. I think it’s higher
Mt. Antero is 13,850 feet at top where you park. There is 1 higher in colorado but it's a secret.

@@drugtalk101 Mt. Bross you can run to 13,900 did it in August. It's monster !
@@jdreaper2176 thanks for the info
Great tips
I have 9 inches of clearance on my expedition and 32 Inch ridge grapplers. You think I'll be good to conquer it this summer?
Yes
Pikes peak is the other paved road at 14,110 at summit.
Pikes Peak had the distinction of being the highest unpaved road in the lower 48, then they paved it and now its no fun.
you don;t want to try it now.. maybe by june
You think a stock 16’ Taco TRD off road would make it fine?
Yes, there isn’t anything there you couldn’t handle easily…except snow right now, it’s not passable all the way to the top yet.

@@JChurchua it currently isn’t passable past the mine. Not sure where you would have heard anyone made it.
@@TrailTraveler I will confirm or deny, and get back to you. Are you on instagram?
@@JChurchua Yup. I have seen numerous trails reports saying it is impassable just past the mine.
My purpose in running this trail soon will be to get pics of Grays and Torreys. Google Earth gives me great hope. Can anyone confirm this?
Sorry, I don't have a clue. I "think" you can, but I am geographically challenged.
@@TrailTraveler thanks for responding.
Myself, my vehicle and my passengers in danger. In that order.
Just don't hot dog and you'll be fine
