Amazing views from the top of Breckenridge Ski Area on Peak 10 trail. This trail is relatively short and it took me an hour to get to the top and then an hour back down. The lower part of this trail through the ski area is easy. It is rocky in places but there are no major or even minor obstacles. Any aggressive stock SUV or vehicle with low range gearing can complete this trail. Once you reach the basin below Peak 10, that is when the fun begins! There are a series of tight switchbacks that are mostly all narrow. My buddy completed this trail in his stock Nissan Titan truck but I would only recommend that for an experienced driver. I saw many stock vehicles on the trail this day and stock Jeep Wrangler TJ was at the top and he had no trouble on the trail at all.
I am glad that I ran this trail as the views at the top were incredible.

Good job on that last switchback. I've done it twice and both times panicked and gunned it. Even with lockers I was spinning. It looks like you took a little tighter line and eased through it.
Thanks Greg! This is such a great little trail. I want to run it again and get some drone footage! Thanks for watching - Geoff
We rented a Jeep in town and started this climb. We got to the first basin thinking we really did something only to find 4 pot-heads in a Scooby-Doo van snow boarding on the last remaining snow on the mountain. Pretty funny experience.
I really enjoyed that, Geoff. Have never seen this one run and was surprised at the spectacular scenery. Definitely worth your time and effort to share with us, and thanks!
Thanks Tom! It’s a cool short trail with great views and close to Breckenridge. Definitely a good time!
Nicely done Geoff! The views up there are incredible. Trail doesn’t look too difficult but well worth doing.
Thanks John! It’s a cool short trail. I’m glad I ran it. I don’t think it would be a destination trail but a great trail if you’re in Breckinridge and have a couple hours to go wheel, or combine with another close by trail.
Agreed looks like an enjoyable trip,it doesnt have to be all extreme rock crawling to get out there
Exactly!
To those of us in the Southern Hemisphere, this is pretty gentle stuff, but very scenic and incredibly high considering the ease of track.
It is a pretty gentle trail. Where do you live? - Geoff
I've never seen anyone else cover this trail.
Thanks for watching! Wish I would have got some drone footage. Next year though! - Geoff
That area makes sense , Bury it in snow and its a ski paradise,Thumbs up, eep country in the off season
It’s a great short trail. I had a blast buzzing up there. I’m working on another video now and am almost done! Found some time on a Friday afternoon. Stay tuned!
@@Colorado4x4 I found the new video, get to watch this evening,Thumbs up, The Moab area is huge
It is giant. There are so many trails out there! Have you been?
@@Colorado4x4 ,Never had the opurtununity to get to Utah or Colorado, used to run the desserts of Central Oregon That was always fun, life keeps me out of the woods , But CZcams is getting me back in, Ive seen more country this way, Live in Poulsbo Wa currently,like going to the Olimpic National forest when time allows, Really like these videos though
Putting a bucket list togeher
Great video Geoff. I always wondered where that trail started. Now I know.
Looks like a great trail !
It's on the list to run.
Thanks buddy! I should post the trailhead coordinates on here. It’s a cool trail! That last switchback is tight but I know you won’t have an issue with it!!! 💪
@@Colorado4x4 I ski breck alot.
It would be so cool to drive up it in summer.
You should hit it this fall!
@@Colorado4x4 Thanks Geoff
I will.
What psi should I run for trails like this? I've got a grand Cherokee summit with the 20in wheel package but have Falken Wildpeak AT Trail tires on it. Aired down to around 28-9psi when doing Mt. Rosa/Almagre trail out here in Colorado Springs, but want to be careful and cognizant of what's best given the weight/wheel size
What pressure do you run on the street? I would probably go a little lower but not sure how much sidewall height you have?
@@Colorado4x4 Usually run around 36-40psi since reading that it was the "best" psi for on road with suvs. I've got 265/50/R20 so aspect ratio is 50. Thanks for the response btw, vids are awesome
It’s more of a trial and error kind of thing. Every rig and tire is different. I just love when people go to talking about tire pressure because it seems like everyone gets all up in arms when in reality, every tire and rig is different. I usually just pick a pressure and start going down from there. I would probably start at high 20s and then just see how they do. If you can have someone else drive for a few minutes, get out and look at the tires and look at the sidewall when the tire goes over a thin, sharp rock. You definitely want some good tire pressure between the rock and the rim, but you want the tire to conform to the rock too. After a while you will get a feel for it more than anything and we usually just play around with pressures. If you hear the tire burping air or “farting” then you’ve gone too far 😝 - Geoff
Another one to add to the list! Do you know what kind of tower that is? Cell?
It is a cool trail and I’m glad I ran it! Would make a good short trail for the family or people that don’t want to go on an all day wheeling adventure 🤣. I’m not sure what that tower is for? Maybe microwave? There’s a bunch of them in the San Juan’s high up on the mountains too. Thanks for watching buddy - Geoff
@@Colorado4x4 haha yeah speaking of family, my wife diplomatically informed me today that she really wasn’t THAT into the rock crawling part LOL so I had to diplomatically inform her that I was willing to do that on my own from time to time 🤣🤣🤣. Wondering when the 2022 JLUR with 4.88 axles will become available…
@@helix_helix oh man! Has she ever been? My wife loves it. She loves it more and more every time we go and she’s all into it now over the last 10 years and she’s an excellent spotter. Take her on some easy trails first. Come along with us and she will have fun
@@Colorado4x4 she used to totally love it Geoff! Then we had our 2nd kid (not a smooth road) and I think her risk tolerance has changed these last 5 years, poor woman. Not to worry. I will get her to come around. I personally enjoy the pucker moments and am willing to compromise to a degree. We’ll definitely come along with y’all! Can’t wait 🤣
I understand completely. Well, take it easy for a little while I guess. Stacy and the kids always get out on a tough spot and they walk. But it’s all good. Just get out there and wheel as much as you can!
I have a question when is the best time to go over to the mountains? There’s no snow and it’s not that cold.
Late June probably. I’m not sure when this trail will be fully clear of snow. All of July and August are usually good here!
@@Colorado4x4 thank you. We are from Texas and we end up picking the worst times.
You’re welcome. I hear you. There are some pretty good websites out there that post trail status. Trailsoffroad.com, the Facebook groups for the San Juan trails are good too. But generally, by late June is when things start heating up in the high country! Some trails done open until late like Black Bear, Pearl Pass etc. - Geoff
This is 4th of July Bowl. Opens on the 4th of July after a bunch of skiers and snowboarders dig out a couple snow patches.
