This is awesome. In 2024 we will put our little Land Rover on the boat to the U.S. from The Netherlands. Those list are awesome for our preparation. We can't wait to do all those epic trails ❤. Great work we love your video's.
Did you guys end up making the trip? I’ve always wanted to wheel the Netherlands. Back in the early 2000s, there used to be a guy with a huge Suzuki samurai following that had tons of awesome pics.
Stoney Pass, Imogene Pass, and Engineer Pass were rougher this year (2022) than a few years ago
Thanks! We only did Engineer this year. Stony and Imogene were way too snowy!
@@RevereOverland agreed, I did Engineer pass in late July and ended up breaking all my steps on the truck. Gave me a reason to upgrade to rock sliders so can't be to upset.
@@j.g4286so where was it bad? I have tundra with a 3” lift on 35s. How long was it bad for? I’m heading there this weekend
I did it today and had to stop at poser rock. They were plowing it when I got up there. I feel so unaccomplished lol
Could a stock rubicon make it?
Learned a couple trails we haven't done yet to add to my list!! Well done!!
I’ve added a couple from yours to. But not Holy Cross.
@@RevereOverland You can do HC in Elizabeth's Jeep. LOL
My fav route is Ouray to blackbear to Imogene, back to Ouray. Although last time I went down blackbear, the steps had washed so much even some of the stick Rubicon JLs were bumping skid plates. And getting tires off the ground. Still doable, but a lot of people don’t find it fun to be on three wheels when descending the steps. (I don’t blame them.) I never got a tire off the ground in my rig so I didn’t have to experience that thankfully.
That is God's country, my friend. Very beautiful.
Stony pass has a bit of a tale for me, as in several previous trips, I have come across accidents that were fatal. One was a plane crash, near the top of the pass, where a Cessna 150 failed to clear and stalled when trying to turn around. The accident occurred the morning we were driving the pass. The second was when we came across a Jeep TJ stuck in the creek crossing, where a pair of binoculars were on the roof and noone was around. We found out shortly later that a couple from Louisiana had tried crossing the creek and stalled out. They climbed onto the roof, where the woman tried to jump to the bank and was washed away. The husband was rescued later by winch line, leaving the bino's on the soft top when they took him to town.
Good tip. If you come through on Medano pass to the sand dunes, you don't have to pay national park fees😊
The Medano Pass primitive road to the sand dunes is a great trip. Fortunately, all the creek crossings have firm gravel bottoms, so getting stuck is not really a danger. Down lower on the east side there is a seep spring that often causes muddy conditions where picking the right line is the ONLY way to get through.
First Overland trip to Colorado and did all these! I guess we lucked out on our choices. The real question for you is Colorado or Utah - which is better?
Incredible shots and absolutely right on point. I traveled in those areas via Adventure motorcycle a few years ago (R1200GSA) and while I enjoyed it ALOT, my heart was wanting my jeep out there. I now have a JLUR and started a little channel here on the east coast jeepNdirt and practicing and hoping we'll be able to begin those west coast trips in 2023. Great footage, great voice over, and appreciate your humbleness as you gave that shout out to Matt. I'm subscribed for sure. God Bless you brother.
I’m sure a motorcycle is a lot faster, but it’s gotta be sketchy at times!
@@RevereOverland I actually took my time on the bike. Although I'm experienced, as you mentioned there were many instances of "the sketchy" moments but it worked out. Definitely looking forward to going out there in the JLUR.
Didn't have time to do Imogene but it's a good excuse to go back! I'd add Yankee Boy Basin for the spring flowers in late June early July. Great list Rob!
I should have mentioned that as a good side trip for Imogene
I live in CO and have a 2011 JKUR lifted on 35's. Was in a 4x4 club, we used the books by Funtrek. Guide to Colorado Backroads and 4 wheel Drive Trails. I did that trail around 2001 in a chevy trailblazer. I still think of that trail, very cool. Seemed remote, one stretch in deep woods passes small pond and a momma and baby moose were standing in the water and a beaver was swimming there too. I was by myself and got a little lost/mixed up along the way too.
Bachelor Loop in a 2-wheel drive in reverse??!!! I am going to try that as I am really good at shifting into 'R' and driving that way. My neck gets kinda sore after a while tho. 😜 It's a little bit easier going east from Telluride to Ouray on Imogene Pass for anyone interested.
Haha. I knew that sounded dumb, but my power was out all morning so I didn’t have time to fix it.
GREAT LIST !!!!!! IMOGENE AND ENGINEER Are AMAZING ...I would Add YANKEE BOY BASIN to the list tho !!!!
That would be a good side trip for Imogene
Merry Christmas, Rob, Elizabeth and Baby! Thanks for your wonderful videos, they are truly inspiring!
My dad and I are considering doing Engineer Pass this summer in a lifted Tacoma. We should be able to make it thorough right?
Yup
If counting prominence of peak Colorado only has 52 (challenger point is close to making it 53 by 300 rule) 14er’s. It’s just us geological few that really care though. That said you can exceed 70 if going by just is it over 14k
Beautiful video!. I gotta get back to CO.!
Buying my first Jeep and glad I found this video. I have a funny feeling I'm going to get hooked on this whole thing and end up spending more and more as I grow into it!!!!
Can I do these trails in my Chevy Silverado RST Z71? Heading to Colorado in sept and i wanna get off road. Have done some trails in MD i am mostly concerned about ground clearance
Great video. Thanks
Saw your rig in RMNP!! Awesome build!!
Fantastic
Has anyone ever taken an Audi Allroad on one of these trails? These look incredible
Thank you, but please put time stamps in the video so it’s easier to watch
I still need to do Imogene
It’s the best!
I’d be interested in a video comparing full size to mid size vehicles for off road. I’m trying to debate a F150 or another Jeep or midsize truck and as a Colorado resident I’m worried the F150 might limit me too much. Or take too much damage/scratches.
That’s definitely planned! The short answer is it depends if you want to travel like me or like Matt. My truck can’t do a couple of the trails on his list, but it’s way more comfortable for what I do with it.
I’ve done most of these in my stock 1500 Ram Rebel. You’ll pick up some pinstripes on Medano Pass, but they’re all doable. They shuttle tourists up Imogene in GM 2500s
For trails in Colorado, a full size rig is great unless you're into the more hard core trails.
I was in a 4x4 club in CO, mostly jeep wranglers. I now have a 2011 JKUR lifted on 35's, have done many of the high country trails. aftermarket steel bumpers and sliders down the sides help a lot too. Wranglers are skinnier than even a 4Runner and that helps in tight spots, lots of scratchy bushes near the water sections of trails.
What was number 3?
Agreed. I could not tell what he said, thanks to his aussie accent.
@@rick_petrie Medano Pass
Medano Pass.
Hey Revere Overland!, don't know if you're going to post Sunday (Christmas day), so Merry🎄Christmas👍👍🧃🧃
Merry Christmas!
would you like to get some wheel lights ?
Whats #3????
I think it’s Medano Pass
Medano Pass, been there done that.
I'd love to get out on the trails there looks so awesome!!
They’re great, but you also have a ton of similar trails in BC!
@@RevereOverland we are so lucky here in BC to have some amazing trails!!
i have a 2015 4x4 tahoe, should I be worried for these trips?
You can prolly do that. On the high mountain/country passes you mainly see Jeeps and Toyota Tacomas.
I would add Black Bear Pass
We gave Black Bear an honorable mention in our video.
I'd like to take my wife and daughters on those trails but I think they'd be walking all of the shelf roads. Are there any trails to recommend with little or no shelf roads. I know some are probably unavoidable if you want the best scenic views. Its really been hard to find this information.
If I remember correctly, Cinnamon Pass and Last Dollar Pass both have minimal shelf roads. There are plenty of other beautiful roads like Phantom Canyon Road that aren’t in the mountains too.
@@RevereOverland thank you!
You get used to the sections of shelf roads.
I like your top 5 more !
You recommend doing this in Paris of two vehicles or one alone is ok?
I have done many of these trails by myself. In the summer, there are other 4x4 people out there if you need help.
What was number 3 I couldnt understand the word
Medano Pass, been there done that.
Ill be out in july
you think my big truck can do any of these?
I’m not sure. Wheelbase is definitely going to be the limiting factor on most because of the tight switchbacks. The only one it definitely won’t fit is Medano. Stony might be possible, but I haven’t driven it in a couple of years.
Fantastic 👏
I've done 4 of those 5 and they were awesome, the last one if on my list for a future trip.
What was the name of the one in San Isabel to the great dunes I couldn’t pick up on that one
@@timothykennedy9240 I'm not sure about San Isabel but the trail that leads to Great Sand Dunes NP on the south end is Medano Pass.
@@billj5645 Thankyou
Well, all this is on my list for next time
Good! They’re all close enough that you can make a route out of them all.
Thanks for making the trails here even more crowded 👍
Thanks for commenting so the UA-cam algorithm promotes this video to even more people 👍
@@RevereOverland please go back to Australia 👍
