Hey there - wow, this is pretty old video, glad you were able to find it and spot yourself! These first time videos are always fun to look back on and see where I went wrong, lol. Hope you're still enjoying the PCA!

Thanks, and I appreciate the kind words!

Yeah, it’d be fine. You may hit a few of your skid plates or trailer hitch on some of the steep stuff but nothing to worry about. Have fun, that’s such a great trail 👍🏻

Hey there, yup, it's super easy - it's right off of the road that turns into the yankee boy basin trail (the main road that you take to get to Imogene, etc) - here's the coordinates for where the trailhead starts, hope this helps! www.google.com/maps/place/37%C2%B058'45.6%22N+107%C2%B045'33.0%22W/@37.9779319,-107.7674319,16z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d37.97934!4d-107.75916

Holy smokes, that'd be a tough day of biking but so rewarding! How cool, glad you're using these awesome trails on your bike as well. Red Cone has to be one of my all time fave trails in CO...doing it on a bike (and going down toward Radical Hill) would be insane! Very cool, thanks for sharing.

Hey Kim, hope you have a great, safe trip! Such a great trail! We haven't done it this season but you should have some great views and the Aspens are gonna be sweet!

Hey - thanks for the comment - we rented the ATV from Outback ATV Rentals just outside of town and literally in their backyard they had trails that started from their driveway. I just checked their website and it was named "Turkey Springs- USFS Road 628, 629, 630" - so one of those is probably the trail we were on. Wish I could remember which one exactly, sorry.

If you are using your stock wheels and you don't want to lift your jeep, the biggest tire size you can go for is a 33"x10"x17" tire. (This is the equivalent of 255/80/17) That size is the same width as most stock JK tires so there shouldn't be any issues.

I was waiting for my wife to return to the house with the Jeep to see exactly what we had for tires. Presently, we're running on 255/70/18. Does that change your biggest tire size to 255/80/18? and what would we gain going from 70 to 80 in terms of ride and overall handling? MANY THANKS!!! Please forgive how little I know about tires.

@@mandersen yeah could of went south real quick and when we did it it was intense because we couldn't climb it only go down it we came in from Silverton and someone said we'd be fine going that way so if we got to something impassable we would of been screwed.You know that sign "short wheelbase recommended " pucker factor :)

I have a buddy with a 5gen and he made it in stock form....however, I'd say a lift and tires would be highly advised. The hardest section in of this trail is when you're still in the trees, coming up the switchbacks before treeline. There's some pretty big ruts that if your tires aren't placed right could potentially be an issue....if you are running stock, skidplates would probably be a good idea...

A favorite trail for sure.

Devildog 68 hey there. I use the garmin virb elite cameras. They are a bit old now (no 4K) but they still do a great job. It automatically overlays all that data into the video with its own software and then I export that out and edit the rest in iMovie. It’s worked great and the overlays are always big hit on KZfaq.

That is so cool that you were able to get up there 30+ years ago - I'm sure not much has changed up top but what you could see back then from what's been built up around there now would probably really surprise you! I agree, food tastes much better on top of the mtns! These trails just opened up recently here in CO as we had so much snow this winter, the high elevation trails took a lot longer to clear out.

Jonathon Terry hey there. Those tunnels are actually just outside of buena vista. Here’s a link for ya: Midland Tunnels Co Rd 371, Buena Vista, CO 81211 goo.gl/maps/zGzgoCUtL15fsdmYA

thanks for the comment, totally forgot I still had this video posted. I hate to say, but I cant' remember what the differences are between the 08/09....I'd rather not give you bad info so I'm just gonna say check out 1addicts.com and see what people are saying there, thanks for your comment. Enjoy your car, I miss my 1'er immensely!.

mandersen thanks for the reply, i got it from an auction so it’s in the process of being rebuilt at the front end, almost finished with it, just getting some aftermarket or new looks to it as I go, ordered the 1m bumper and got the double slat style grilles that the new Ms have, hoping this all looks badass in Crimson red

@@basvisuals348 very cool! that thing should look fantastic when you're done and crimson red should look awesome!

@@mandersen hey thanks for the information. I guess I'm the trailer park version of you Haha. 914/4 guy that has only done a few RMPCA no times good times. My Rubicon is a lifted Astro AWD I also camp in. I'm up in fort Collins.

I was afraid of that. Not many trails are 6x6 compatible, haha. Would you be able to recommend one that is? I don't actually have one yet, but I'm in the planning stages of an Expeditionary vehicle project and that is (currently) the way I'm leaning. That I can use it first to haul dirt and rock is a bonus. Would this trail be doable in an 80's F-250? Obviously much longer than a Jeep, but not meaningfully wider. I didn't notice anywhere that required an extreme departure angle, and I want to say that's the 'weak' point on the truck as far as trails go.

MacClay8 the truck would be fine. A little tight but nothing it couldn’t handle. I think as long as the trail doesn’t have a lot of super tight switchbacks the 6x6 may work. I’d keep it off any shelf roads too since I’m sure it has a pretty wide stance. Your best bet would be to take a look at the website trailsoffroad.com. It will have ratings and very detailed pics of every trail they review. You will have to sign up for an account on that site but it’s free

Here's the thing, if I run my vids at normal speeds, I'll have people saying my videos are too slow/boring. Unfortunately, It's a lose lose.

Thanks for the comment!

You'd be totally fine - there's a small rocky section after the shelf road. This trail gets a "hard" rating from some of the books/sites b/c of the shelf road. If those don't bother you, you'd be fine.

Hey there, thanks for the comment! That data comes from the cameras that I shoot with. I use Garmin Virb Elite cameras which have GPS sensors built into the cams. They record all of that data when it records and then you can overlay all (or just some) of the different data points into your vids. I love it and have been really happy with the quality of the vids (and the sensor data). I also use a DJI Mavic Pro drone - flying above tree line in the mtns is always a blast and just so freaking beautiful!

it's a doozy! Definitely need some good flex and a great spotter for this one!

Kind of....it'd be a long day to run them all but if you started them early enough.... check out trailsoffroad.com for ratings and writeups/instructions. A fun long day would be, Red Cone to Radical Hill through Deer Creek/Saints John - absolutely gorgeous!

No, I don't think that'd matter. I felt like I had to pump the brakes when trying to stop anytime AFTER they were boiled. On the way home for instance, I was on a highway, I kept it to about 40-45 mph and when traffic slowed, I noticed myself having to pump the brakes to get anything out of them. If your pedal goes to the floor, honestly, it's not worth the risk. A brake flush isn't that expensive and should probably be done asap to avoid an incident with you, your car, or worse yet, someone else around you.
