3 Days in the San Juan Mountains (Overlanding the Alpine Loop) [ep 138]

Three days, three nights, 11 people, and 177 miles on dirt summiting four high-elevation mountain passes.
With our staging area in Lake City, CO, we made our way up and over Cinnamon Pass, California Pass, Hurricane Pass, and Corkscrew pass. We would hit asphalt for just 15 miles circling back up through Silverton, through Eureka Gulch, and up and over Engineer Pass, ending with a 40 mile overland route as we head back East towards home.
This was an unforgettable overlanding journey that we were thankful to be a part of!
Enjoy!

I’ve watched so many YT videos on the Alpine loop that I’ve lost count. This is the best video I’ve seen. That drone footage was beyond epic. What an incredible trip - sad we couldn’t make it, but so glad we get to live vicariously through y’all with this video!

Thanks Jason that really means a lot! Wish y’all could have made it too but there’s always the next adventure. 🧡

I'm about 4 and half minutes in... Without a doubt, the cinematography is outstanding, and the people in the video telling the story are wonderful. You might consider some different approaches to the music you use to underscore the film. The dubstep, electronic driven sound isn't the right vibe. (I'd probably start with Gregory Alan Isakov's "San Luis" for inspiration, but that may just be me!). That said, the footage you captured is breathtaking. The time I've been able to spend in the San Juan's has resulted in some of my most cherished memories. And it's been far too long- 15 years since I've been in that high country. Hope I get back soon.

Thank you so much for the kind words!! We really appreciate that. Our music choice has definitely evolved since last year. The San Juans are absolutely a special place! Heading back next month. Hope you can get back soon too!!

Love the narrative , not only what things are, but why they are! But I saw you guys bbqing those puppies! (With a perfect video like this, you got to make a scandalous conspiracy theory!) If every one knew what was on the otherside of that mountain and through the hills, then everybody would have a jeep. I guess you can't keep it a secret forever, but I think I gotta get out there before the trails are overrun!

Wonderful. Thank you. I'll be out that way from the northeast late this month. I have to say, even though I have Trails Offroad, I've ignored it due to a glitch. But this video got me to square that away and now discover how useful this app will be. Love that you can take it right to Gaia. Thanks. This video benefited me for sure. ❤❤

@@FarFromOrdinary I'm in the NY/NJ/PA area so we do have mountains and by looking at my channel I'm an ATV guy because there is no place here to off road your car, and if you do find a place it's pretty mediocre and uninteresting, and there's nothing to see. I just went to Hatfield McCoy trails in may and drove 150 miles on ATV. There's just a lot to see there even aside from the ride itsself. Cool rock formations, views, overlooks, just a lot.

Hmm kinda starting to make me rethink about my trip to Colorado in February, haha, I’ll be in snow and just in Denver because of the snow I probably won’t make it to aspen or Colorado Springs, or anything past aspen, so might just wait till June.

I’ll still head out there, I like the snow, driving from Florida in my little lifted taco, be my first road trip, so excited but anxious. By god’s grace and my attention to my surroundings I’m sure it’ll be a fun trip and still have to stop by Houston on my way back.
