No Chairlift needed... | Peak 10 Trail Guide, Breckenridge CO

We drive up Peak 10 at Breckenridge Ski Resort in a stock Jeep Wrangler JL, Toyota 4Runner, and Nissan Xterra. We drive it so you know what to expect… will we even need 4WD as we try to climb past Breck’s 13,000 feet? The trail takes you past iconic Ski Resort lifts and buildings as you snake your way above beautiful Colorado alpine scenery. This is definitely one of Colorado’s epic off-road trails!
Colorado Mallcrawlers is an off-road/overland channel featuring a railroader and his friends. We love wheeling and making videos! Unfortunately, we are limited on video production due to the insane schedule of the railroader, but our goal is to always publish the best we can. I hear people when they ask us to publish more so I'm definitely trying… and thanks to our new editor Drew Hunter, we might succeed! This Peak 10 video is Drew’s first Mallcrawler edit! Anyway, we'd love to have you as a subscriber as I want to show off all these beautiful trails to more people.

Hope you liked this guide! Hopefully I’m watching this with y’all at the premiere, but if I’m working (on call life, you never know when you’re working), Drew will be around. Let him know what you think of his edit and you’ll see what I think of it in the video. Anyway, really excited to film some new trail guides and make better videos this year! -Dewie Edit: yes, I know I can’t talk, at least I said it right in the trail videos of chihuahua gulch lol

Welcome back! A 95 year-old friend owns a condo in Breck and was a ski instructor for 30 years. He had Bet Midler and family for lessons and got a $500 tip. He was passing fitness tests at 80 years-old that the 20-somethings couldn't pass! Thanks for the adventure!

We did this September 2022 and there was no rock stacking on the final switchback which made it nerve racking because there's no room to back up and "try again". I think just driving up to the meadow in the middle is a nice drive if you're not interested in puckering.

Awesome guide, will be useful when I'm in the area this August! I drove just past the dining shack last time (to the gate) but didn't go any further as it was my first time on mountain trails. Will try to do the entire trail this year. It doesn't seem like a busy trail (I didn't see any cars) and you didn't seem to meet many. However, once you get higher, how often are there spots where you can pass oncoming traffic? Thanks for the info. Keep up great videos!

@coloradomallcrawlers Жыл бұрын

Thank you! There’s some spots to pass, but it’s a high mountain trail so they can be limited. You may need to back up or wait for another to back into a spot.

@Drew.Hunter.Maker.Artist Жыл бұрын

@Dusty Wheeler From my own experience I can only in good conscience recommend lunchbox/mechanical lockers off-road, and this video even demonstrates one of the reasons I will be switching to an e-locker now that I have the means. Even in the rear on road lunchbox lockers can be unpredictable in adverse conditions. Especially since most off-road vehicles are also rear wheel drive where as at least on road my front axle completely disconnects in 2wd. Off road they perform well for the cost in comparison and engage when needed without the added complexity of electronics and hoses that also have more components to fail. It's actually a similar reason why Matt's off-road recovery has given for why he has a Detroit locker in the front and a positraction LSD in the rear of the Bannana and Morrvair. Each option Open, elocker, air-locker, mechanical locker, LSD, and spool have different trade offs and benefits from cost, usability, durability and complexity.

@daveharness70 Жыл бұрын

I had a lockrite in the front and lsd in the rear for years. Unstoppable. Just have manual locking hubs to make non-crawling more enjoyable.
