- Third time's the charm! Poughkeepsie Gulch is part of the Alpine Loop between Ouray, Lake City, and Silverton, Colorado. It's also a Jeep Badge of Honor trail and is known for the famous obstacle: The Wall. I made it up The Wall without much drama after changing my line to the far right.
In addition to The Wall, Poughkeepsie Gulch offers a lovely drive in from Ouray on County Road 18 past mines and waterfalls, and then a long climb up a hill of loose rocks. After The Wall, you'll find yourself at the top of California Pass and can enjoy spectacular views all the way down to Animas Forks.
Are the tires aired down?
Yes, probably around 17-18 psi but maybe lower would have helped.
