    My grandparents had a cattle ranch 18 miles west of Creede (if you take 149 east out of Lake City). We had a Willys wagon and explored all around Creede, Lake City, and in the San Juans. I don't think the Alpine Loop was there then or we would have made the trip. We moved to Steamboat Springs and continued our Colorado explorations. My dad's passing in 1968 put an end to our Jeep days. The Alpine Loop is on my bucket list. Thank you for sharing.

    @Mountain-Wrangler Před 2 lety +1

    Hey Matt, The trail you exited on was Engineer Pass, which is the more rugged terrain part of the loop. Poughkeepsie Gulch is an offshoot of Engineer Pass, and is even more difficult/technical for stock Jeeps, and there are signs that point that out before you reach the "Wall" which is the hardest part of the trail. It would be a great place for your Scorpion Crawler to have some fun on!

My '76 Wagoneer and '91 XJ went over all those roads numerous times, along with many of the less-known trails in the area that are more difficult. But the Alpine Loop is certainly the most popular, mostly for their scenic value.
    Two years ago there were unprecedented avalanche conditions that led to those huge slides paths you saw.

      True. I used to live in Park City in the 1980s through the late '90s.
      Raced bicycles out of there and went to Durango for the iron horse classic. In about 1990.
      Went back and was pretty shocked about how it changed.
      But, that's everywhere. You can't escape it.

    Over the past nearly fifty years I've been to CO many times, and had heard about the Alpine Loop, but never experienced it. Thanks for the ride-a-long. First time I traveled from Durango through Silverton and up to Ouray was in 1977. I was twenty years old.
    There's a super easy trail you might try if you're out in CO again. It's Holy Cross City near the Homestake Reservoir. There's a group of four wheelers that go up after the first thaw each year, clean up any "trash" left by inconsiderate wheelers and make sure it's open for the season. It's short and easy, as I said, but a fun little ride. My cousins and I hiked it and ended up following a group of four wheelers, mostly in jeeps, up the trail to the City, which is a ghost town. We hiked on up to Cleveland Lake, camped there a few nights and did some fishing. Fun time.
    There's also a trail from Crested Butte over to Marble, CO. I made it up to Schofield Pass in a rental car, but not down into Marble. I'd heard from the Pass into Marble was very challenging and that possibly it was closed by the company mining the area. Not sure. It might be another one to check out some time. If you try it, ask about it with locals in Crested Butte first. Looks like you guys avoided altitude sickness. Good for you. It can be no fun.
    I may not live too far from you; Louisville, KY. If so I'd love to come visit some time and maybe check out any projects you'd be working on. Hoping to finish up my 1960 Willys wagon this year. It's originally a CO vehicle.

    This is, by far, the best video I've seen done on the Alpine Loop. I'm up there every summer, and own a place in Lake City. I don't think anyone else has captured the loop quite as well, but there's more to do than you think In Lake City!
    The ice and debris bridges you saw were the result of historic levels of snow pack. There were many mountain faces that avalanched that winter that had not had an avalanche in living memory. FEMA got involved because, if one of those ice dams had collapsed, then it could have flooded lake City and taken out a third of the town proper! It's back to normal now, except for the remaining downed trees on the mountainsides.

    In the mid 2000s, I took a little Nissan Sentra about 3/4ths the way up Cinnamon Pass from Lake City before finally hitting some rocks that were not going to go cooperate with that car's clearance. I was, however, surprised I did get as far as I did in that little car.

    Did it 2012 on my mororcycle and it was pretty rocky and challenging. The start of cinnamon was very rocky. No way a car could have done it. Then there were tight switchbacks on Engineer that was all broken loose gravel. No two wheel drive would have made it. Cool video though. Brought back great memories. Sad to see its been over run by so many people.

I'm an English oldtimer who has hiked,camped ( tent not RV etc) and off road travelled. Mostly the four corners areas but into the S W corner of Colorado, Silverton, Ouray, Telluride and back into Cortez and Mesa Verde Nat. Park. Unfortunately, I don't think it's now going to be possible at my age and the Covid 19 pandemic, so I shall follow you two young explorers instead. Take care and stay safe.
