- Mount Antero 4x4 trail guide for off-road vehicles. Mt. Antero is a trail near Buena Vista, Co and has spectacular high mountain scenery, but may test your pucker factor. This trail guide video is designed for all vehicles from stock to highly modified. We hope to include all kinds of Jeeps, Toyotas, Fords, Nissans, and all other off-roaders in future videos. We also hope this guide is useful by showing you the trail from start to finish in order.
Here’s the time stamps I forgot to update after the last watch.

Colorado Mallcrawlers focuses on making hopefully high quality trail guides. We use all kinds of vehicles and usually base our difficulty ratings off a stock wrangler rubicon. However, the guides should provide enough information for you to figure out if your vehicle can do it no matter what you drive.
Just got monetized, not managing how it works, let me know if there’s too many ads... I hate that myself. - Auta a dopravní prostředky

Also, we drive to around 13,800 ft, not 18,800. My UConnect said 13,855 ft the previous weekend. The video I took of UConnect was on the way down from the highest point as I forgot to take it at the top. Not sure of the accuracy, but based on paper maps, it looks like you drive to somewhere in the 13,800 ft section.
I am really liking your videos. You show off the beauty of Colorado, the difficulty of certain trails, and also that not just a Jeep Wrangler and a Tacoma are the only vehicles to off-road in. I love that you have a Nissan frontier and range rovers and Cherokees and in some of your other videos you even show a variety of other off-roading vehicles.
Thank you! Yeah, I’d love to have a representative each off-road class (full size, mid size truck, stock SWB Jeep, stock LWB Jeep, small off-roader, midsize off-roader, and older budget build) in each video, but scheduling is pretty tough in accomplishing that. However, even tho the goal is to get new trails documented, we’ll likely go back to some of our favorites with unique vehicles to produce a short action packed video. Thank for watching!
Loved the variety of vehicles! Especially enjoyed seeing a somewhat-modern Land Rover on the trail.
I love seeing different stuff wheel too. I’m excited for all the new off-road vehicles coming soon. Thanks for watching!
Dewie your a beast !! Most offroaders stop at 13,800. You guys hiked to the summit and drank a beer ! Beast mode !!!
Thanks! It was my first one, but I’d like to do more. Thanks for watching!
@@coloradomallcrawlers I just ran Antero to the top !!
Omg what a trail !! The views !!
I also hiked to the summit but I didn't drink a beer. 🤣
Your guide helped alot !!💪🙏
Thanks for this one. Did it today in Power Wagon. Some of the switchbacks were a bit tight and took a four or five point turn but, otherwise safe going up and down.
Awesome!!
Glad to see the return of the little "Goat" Renegade!💪💪💪
Yeah, it’s a little beast! I think next season, we’ll be more organized and able to do more adventures with it than we did this season. Especially since I now have a full time overland setup. Thanks for watching!
@@coloradomallcrawlers cool! I'm looking forward for it! Cheers from Italy!
Good video. Fun fact: Mount Everest base camp is over 3000' higher than all CO 14ers!
Definitely true, but you can’t drive to base camp 😉. Thanks for watching!
Ran this trail to the summit last July with 4 100 Series LandCruisers and 1 200 Series LandCruiser. All of us were running 33" tires (KO2) at 18psi. Had zero issues anywhere along the way. But, it's narrow along the lower, wooded section with zero sight lines so oncoming traffic can sneak up on you and no room to pass. Once above tree line, you can see for a LOOOOOONG way and plan your passing spots. Excellent trail. We did it and then TinCup followed by Cumberland, Waunita, Black Sage and Old Monarch to return to our basecamp above Salida. Very long day in the seat, but so amazing.
That sounds like a great trip!
Thank you so much for making a video of Mount Antero. Your video and editing was perfect. Your voice is clear and easy to understand. You were very informative about the whole trail and tips of what to do and expect. I’m adding Mount Antero to my future places to visit thanks to your video.👍👍
Suddenly Unexpected thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I’ll work on continuing the current format on the future uploads, but without the mistakes noted in my pinned comment 🤦♂️. Thanks for watching!
Pretty cool seeing it from your angle. Great camera perspective. I rode up to Antero several weeks ago. Didn't have much chance to really look around. Was racing to the top before the lightning came in. Thank you for your video. Great!
Sounds like an adventure! Thanks for watching!
My favorite place! Been waiting for this one. Great video!
Thanks buddy! Yeah, the whole moving into a camper thing has made the CZcams uploading tough, but I’m working on it. Hope to crank out a ton of these videos. Thanks for the support!
Fantastic video. Good variety in vehicles. You should really have a ton more subscribers. Seriously. Please keep it up. I am sure people will catch on to this channel.
I really appreciate that! I use to try to market the videos, but the Facebook Jeep groups all say it’s self promotion... I’m just like, I get it, but these may actually help someone. Thanks for commenting tho as that really helps youtube decide to market it for me.
Absolutely beautiful views!! I need to that trail soon.
It’s a great one and you do! But probably won’t be doable till the middle of summer!
Beautiful video! 👍🏻
Thank you very much!
I must be super early. I'll come back when it's done processing so I can change to HD. can't wait to watch. thanks in advance for the work you put in
Yeah, maybe I’ll wait and give it some time before making it public... I know the 4K takes a while to render. Thanks for watching!
Excellent video! Definitely want to try this in our ZR2's! Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much! ZR2s are sweet! Have fun!
Renegade Trailhawk owner love this
Dude, this is the only video I have watched of yours so far but it is the best trail guide I have seen on CZcams so far.
As far what I personally would like to see in the videos? Do EXACTLY what you are doing!
Hope your subscribers and view count rises at a rate commensurate with the service you are providing and the amount of work you are obviously putting in.
I appreciate that! I feel the new ones move a bit faster, but my goal is to make varied styles in the future as I like experimenting. I’m happy with this channel and feel it has awesome subscribers based on the comments. The only thing I wish is that I could produce more videos, but my work really hinders the amount of time I can put into making these. Maybe one day that will change. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for posting. I look forward to your videos, your presentation style is laid back. I have never Jeeped but your adventures have me and the Mrs. looking at rigs, so maybe someday soon we'll be out on the trails. Looking forward to your next adventure!
Thanks for watching and commenting! That’s awesome, no matter what you get, it’ll be awesome. I hope that I’m kinda a full time overlander without the distractions I have at home, I’ll be able to crank out videos. Some may be rough, but the trail guides will hopefully continue to get better.
@@coloradomallcrawlers I look forward to watching! Thanks again!!
Great video 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you!
Even though the music is terrible these videos are incredible and extremely well done. Thank you for sharing these
honkyheath The music is chosen based on staff picks from the music service I use. Unfortunately, I can’t use music from popular artists. Plus everyone has different tastes so I try to use instrumentals and vary the genres throughout the vid. Thanks for watching!
@@coloradomallcrawlers maybe just tone the volume down. At least for me, I here to experience the trails.
Awesome as always!! And I wish I had a Renagade just like that! Love the mods and color!! One day!
It’s a really sweet renegade! Thanks for watching!
Awesome video bud! Keep it up. I’ll be driving my Jeep over that way from Loveland here soon!
Thank you! You’ll have a blast!
Great video Dewey! I've been thinking about running this trail and now I know I will. I enjoyed the commentary and info!
You’ll love it! Boulder mountain is in this trail system and it’s fun too, but it tight. Thanks for the support… maybe in September, we can wheel together!
That would be great Dewey! How about you, me, B-Roll Off-road and Colorado 4x4 all make a run together!! That would make for some great video!
That’s be a blast!
Great video as always man. This trail is for sure a bucket list trail. Also congrats on 1,000 subs that’s a very big milestone man.
Solo Assassin thanks buddy! I appreciate it... now if only Winnebago would let me wheel a Revel on loan (instead of the camper), I’d be set 🤣
@@coloradomallcrawlers haha that would be dope haha keep growing maybe one day you could lol
Really enjoyed the video. Have hiked to the top (from the bottom) a couple of times but never driven to the top. Looking forward to driving it in the upcoming weeks in my 4Runner.
Glad you liked it! That’ll be fun plus it’ll be easier to bring tasty beverages for the top by driving up there. Have a good trip!
My favorite so far.
Awesome! Is this about the trail or the video? If the trail, it’s a great one. If about the video, this is an old one and think you’ll find the newer ones to be better.
@@coloradomallcrawlers Both the trail and video. I've watched many of your videos, they are all good and appreciated. I'm trying to figure out what trail to go on first. I wanna trail my bone stock new to me KL TH.
Nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks awesome! Haven’t done this trail before.
OXFOOT you’d love it! Great trail system for exploration with plenty of spots to camp! Thanks for the support man! Let me know about Rabbit Ears or Buffalo Pass. I can also maybe meet half way somewhere but my boss told me I’d be working on my rest so who knows how busy it’ll be.
Loving the content. I hope to get a wrangler one day so that I can start hitting the trails
I hope you do as they’re great! Consider the older TJ or LJ... don’t get me wrong, I love my JK, but I loved my TJs too. Thanks for watching!
Nice video. I'll have to carve out some time and hit this trail in 2022.
It’s a fun trail!
sweet! 🍻
New to the channel and new to Colorado. Living in Peyton area but looking to explore all that CO has to offer in my 2017 Land Rover Discovery. I usually scrub through most videos on YT but I watched yours from start to finish. Great detail and I love how you show all of the trail to def give a sense or preview of what is to be expected! I'm going to be heading to Buena Vista area in end of June for 3 days of camping so I'm thinking about doing this trail or trails in the area and camping disbursed in my roof tent. I'll maybe see you out there. I'm real into photography and drone flying so I'm stoked to have a nice chill adventure weekend!
Welcome to Colorado! You’ll love it! I’m hoping to make these better as I learn more about editing and filmmaking, but I really appreciate your comment! Thank you! Hopefully we will run into each other and let me know if you want to get that LR in a trail guide... people love to watch them wheel!
@@coloradomallcrawlers for sure! I’ll be in Ouray and telluride this weeekend and end of June 25/26/27 I’ll be in the area trying to do Yale, or Antero, or prinston
Love seeing non wrangler based vehicles on the trails. I'd like to see a few more Renny's, compass, newer Cherokee's and GC. Trailhawks of course. If you can find one throw a Liberty into the mix. G- wagon, suzuki samurai, sidekick (geo tracker), Mitsubishi Montero, you get the picture.
Yeah, I’d love to have them all in there. We do own a Liberty but it’s in Tennessee. Keep looking for Grands to wheel with us, but no luck on matching up schedules yet. Thanks for watching!
I’d love to see a g wagon wheel too but sadly their owners never leave the pavement😂
This is a fantastic review and video! Very well done! I also was surprised by - and super appreciative - of your commentary about giving newer off-road drivers space and patience. Amen to that! That said, what do you think the top one or two challenges are on this particular trail from a technical driving perspective for someone newer to off-roading? Also, are you at about 12,000 feet at minute 9 of the video, by any chance? Thanks, again, for a great video!
Thank you! The switchbacks would be the biggest issue in my opinion as you may have to back up on them to let someone pass. The second challenge would be if your vehicle has enough low end or power to get to the top. Yes, at 9 minutes, you have just broken past 12,000ft.
@@coloradomallcrawlers Excellent! Thank you so much for the response and the answers to my questions. Very helpful!
Mt Antero is on my 14er list. Your video is informative and the views of the terrain are wonderful. This is the only video so far i watched of your. You never mentioned about airing down. Have you ever had any Subarus with you? I have a modified Outback and it appears it would make it up all the way to the top parking. My concern would i would be doing it solo and i dont know if id be comfortable with that. I have the FunTreks 4th ed. Guide and at this point, ive done a few easy ones. Im from Wisconsin and enjoy Colorado. Thanks for making this video.
I think a subie could make it to the top, but I wouldn’t do it alone. I did not air down for this… I believe people air down too much. Airing down increases your risk of sidewall punctures and you don’t need it for traction here. Have fun!
Love the variety, I have a 2015 limited 4x4 and want to do some offroading but I’m just scared of the potential since it’s not “trail rated”
2015 limited of what model? It’s usually pretty easy to make a Jeep or 4x4 vehicle trail ready with only a few mods. The trail rated models usually have those mods from the factory, but aftermarket support is decent for most models. Thanks for watching!
You should be getting a influx of likes and subs. Thanks again for vids!
I wouldn’t fight that lol. I think our next year’s filming will be much better for them... we’ve learned a lot this year.
@@coloradomallcrawlers your work is appreciated. I won't watch 4x4 vids with rigs so modded out they make every trail look easy 🤢... struggling is half the fun😃
I agree... when CZcams was new, I use to watch a TJ rolling on Hell’s Gate (on Hell’s Revenge in Moab) over and over again. I hope we never have that happen, but it was mesmerizing. There needs to be some risk to a video.
Thanks
Thanks from România 🤗🤗🤗
@@IONUTRUJOIU Thanks for watching!
👍🏻
This is great! Think my 2019 Grand Cherokee (Summit package) could make it up this? Got 265/50 Falken Wildpeak ATs, plus the air suspension adjustment to offroad 1 and 2 which raises clearance significantly. We've offroaded at Rainbow falls but this is different. Let me know
Thank you and I don’t see you have any problems!
Hey Dewey. Your vids are very informative. Quick question. I was in Ouray six weeks ago in my 2020 Cherokee kl. We did four passes in it. Was antero harder than say Imogene? Thanks again for the great vids.
Nah, you’ll be fine... Zach (black KL) ran it with me the previous weekend as the top was where we got cell phone reception. The biggest issue with Antero is making safe passes and those that don’t respond well to heights. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for adding a FJ
Ha, I’m trying to get more FJs in these… I got a built one coming in the full Red Cone Trail Guide and I’m going to try to get more in future videos.
@@coloradomallcrawlers We'd offroad with ya...we're from PA...hoping to be in UT AZ in May!!!
2012 TT FJ in radiant red...haha
We ve done Mt Antero and Mt Princeton...and many more
Great videos, my only complaint is the volume between talking and background music. I have to raise volume when you talk and lower it when music is going on. If you could balance that would be perfect. Keep up the great work / or fun...👍
I would like to see for you bring on your guide stock Cherokee (KL) Trailhawks. I want to make it out to Colorado next summer with my stock 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk and want to see where can I trail.
That’s good to know. I’ll take a look at my settings... thanks! Curious to what you’re watching it on.
Took a look at my settings, I think I see how I can fix that. I appreciate the feedback!
@@coloradomallcrawlers sounds good. Hope that I can trail with you maybe next summer with my stock 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk.
I’m sure we can and will!
Like your videos, but the one thing I would do is use the music to augment your adventure. It seems at times, to me at least, to distract from the fun and excitement of running these trails.
Noted, but this is an old video. Also, I’m a CZcamsr, and I’m simply learning how to make videos. Many other off-road CZcamsrs have film backgrounds, I don’t, but I’m learning. Thanks for watching!
Have you tried using a WeBoost and Wilson Antenna setup? This should allow for LTE or 5G connection so you can upload in your camp area using your cell phone. Also I haven't had any gashes since I started running KM3 tires, my AT Destinations got gashed pretty bad wheeling in Michigan, Colorado would have definitely gashed my tires up.
I like your videos. Keep up the good work.
@Cowboy I’ll look into it! I’ve just been spoiled at my home... we have upload speeds in the 200s. Took longer to render this video (20 mins) than to upload the 7.9GB file to CZcams (3-4 mins) today. I’m dreading a long upload and I can’t drive home all the time. @Ed Thank you!
What tent is on that Renegade? Thanks!
I don’t recall, but I’m certain we talked about it in his walkaround video. It’s the only renegade walkaround that I have currently.
Headed out to Buena Vista with my family in a few weeks and this trail is on my list. We did the Apline Loop (not the section from Ouray to Animas though) and Mosquito Pass last year. The self roads were a lot for my kids, especially the top of Engineer Pass before getting to Odom Point. Do you think the jump in pucker factor between that section of Engineer Pass to Mt Antero (also wanting to tackle Imogene) is too much? Thanks and great video!
I think Engineer and Antero are similar, but I’d say Antero has slightly less pucker because you’re in a more confined space where engineer is more open. I think the key with kids on shelf roads is to not show them fear. Have a great time!
@@coloradomallcrawlers Thanks for the advice and quick reply! I like to really study ahead of time and know what I'm getting us into before heading out there and your guide was fantastic.
Thoughts on taking a stock 2004 Jeep Liberty Sport up the trail? Made it up Princeton to the satellite towers without much issue. Think I would be able to make it up the lower switchbacks? Just trying to shave some miles off the hike. Thanks!
What motor do you have? I’m going to start featuring my mom’s 2005 Jeep Liberty on the channel. I’ve lightly wheeled it in the past and found it was more than enough capable. I would definitely take hers on it… 3.7L with command trac. It’d have zero problems imo. Thanks for watching!
@@coloradomallcrawlers We have a 2009 2nd generation Liberty, 3.7L. We are not off road warriors, but we enjoy heading to Colorado and Utah from Indiana to enjoy the back country.
My wife's Jeep is a stock '19 Cherokee TH that I want to hit a Jeep Jamboree one day.
Love your videos. I live in Georgia were we have lots of mountains to explore and I have a 2015 Renegade Trailhawk but haven’t taken it off road yet. The Blue Trailhawk in the video, does he have a lift? What size tires? Thanks for your help. Keep up the great work.
@Mark He’s running a 1.5in lift (see his answer below), but the specifics should be in his vehicle description in this video. If not, it’s in slaughterhouse. Also, he’s active on the modified renegade page on Facebook. In addition to Cowboy’s avid recs, that page has knowledgeable people I believe. Thanks for watching!
Did he have to do the pinch seem mod?
I have a Teraflex 1.5” lift, eibach springs for another inch and 235/75/16 tires. I did have to do the pinch seam mod. Like a lot.
Davon C Thank you! Have you had any transmission/engine issues with your renegade? I have a horrible rumble sound and hesitation with my renegade but have read that is normal? Any other issues before I start modding my renegade? Thanks for your help.
Mark Burdette i have had zero transmission issues. I did add a second trans cooler though. I would sometimes over temp it when I was wheeling hard trails. Rumble is not normal. The hesitation is. There could be a trans flash the dealer can do. Or updates. Check with them.
How far is the hike from the top of the road to the top of the mountain?
It wasn’t too bad, maybe 800ft vertical climb. Still I was out of shape when I did it.
How long did it take you guys to get to the top?
We were filming so I don’t keep a record of it. The trail information pop up should have an estimated time range on it averaged from Funtreks and TrailsOffRoad. If I’m not filming, I can do a trail while still enjoying it at the lower limit of the estimate. If filming, ususally at the upper range of the estimate.
I couldn't find your "Baldwin Lakes video" you mentioned was coming up (5:02)
Oh man, I had plans to film it, but I think work got in the way. I’ll get back on the top of list… it’s been a while since I’ve wheeled the Antero Trail System.
And the Browns Lake video mentioned (14:13)
Same as before, I’m not a full time CZcamsr as I have a job where I’m on call 24/7. I film when I can and I’m usually only off for 24hrs when I get some time. I haven’t had the opportunity to get back there, but as I said, it’s going to back on the list and towards the top of trails to do.
Nice Video, but please include the dam cherokee trailhawk.
Cherokee vids are coming, but Zach’s has been out of commission most of the summer due to MFC or something not sending him parts (I’m not sure of the story, just know he had been waiting for axles all summer it seems). He picked up a XJ tho. Sean has filmed a bunch, but he took on some damage due to two blown KO2s on red cone so that’s also happening. Still, there’s probably 6-7 Cherokee videos filmed. We may do a what needs to be beefed up on the KL video this winter too.
More of the Renegade!
I’ll work on that! Got some more renegade videos coming, and I’ll work on that. Scheduling with others is the toughest part of filming the trail guides. However, I definitely want more renegade action myself.
@@coloradomallcrawlers I have a Renegade Latitude. Still all stock but would love to get a lift, tires, & skid plates. Would love to go out to CO and go jeeping. Long time ATV rider, but would love to try something new. Here in ND we don't have much for Jeep trails.
Well let me know if you make it this way! Some good groups on Facebook for modifying renegades I believe.
If you make it to Phoenix or Tucson, I got high speed internet. Just saying.
Thanks! I found that libraries have great upload speeds, but I definitely want to cover Arizona!
Great video, but could you lower the music.
I am a new video maker and constantly improving. I believe music has been lowered significantly in videos posted after this one as this was an early one. I listen with a headphones and on an iPad but it’s tricky to get audio right due to the variety of devices people can watch on. Thanks for watching!
That renegade had to be struggling for power up there at 13k feet. It doesn’t have a true low range either.
Hopefully one day it will! That size factor is incredible though. I kinda hope the next renegade will be a true small trail boss... if so, I’m getting one.
@@coloradomallcrawlers - Did that Renegade have the 2.4 naturally aspirated engine, or the turbo?
If it was the 2.4, I’m sure it was wheezing for the last 2-3 thousand feet ...
That 2.0 turbo engine that Jeep uses in the Cherokee would be a welcome addition to the Renegade and Compass.
Think a Silverado Trail boss could tackle this trail?
Yeah, I don’t see why not!
@@coloradomallcrawlers Id be happy to go with you sometime next year see what the ol boss can do lol Maybe be a way to add some more vehicles into your videos. I'm in Denver so not far for me to go.
That’d be fun!
@@coloradomallcrawlers ok ill keep in touch! Thanks.
at 16:40 you were above 13,100' already!
Ok maybe, I’ll have to rewatch, thanks!
Soliciting people’s internet 🤣🤣
Meet Country yeah, you gotta do what you gotta do... maybe the library’s will be fast enough to upload?
Suggestion: when commenting speak faster, like you do when you video yourself on the trails.
Thank you! This was an earlier video and I’m learning as I go… I really don’t like being on camera, but felt these videos needed a host to be better. I am getting much more comfortable with it especially since most of the viewers are really awesome and supportive. I appreciate the feedback!
@@coloradomallcrawlers Your videos are really great: high quality and varied footage. Great editing and relevant commentary. Keep up the great work.
I dont like that my jeep is broke and i cant go
I don’t like that either… hope it gets fixed soon!
Go to a Starbucks they usually have good WiFi
I plan on trying them... the key is upload speed. Uploading one right now on my buddy’s internet, but it’s a slow process. However, I’ll do future uploads at steamboat spring’s library as that is as fast as my home’s internet based on my speed test the other day.
7:18 is that Alvin and the chipmunks singing? What is the obsession with Alvin and the Chipmunks in today’s music?
It’s just some music from epidemic sound that was recommended by their staff. I hate adding music because everyone has an opinion on it so I just go with their staff pics when I need something.
This video definitely could’ve done without all the crappy background noise 👎🏻
I was brand new at making videos… sorry man, I have no true video production background unlike a lot of CZcamsrs who do. I’m learning as I go.
Question: How stupid is to put loud music in a video like this?
A lot of my videos don’t have music and this one had a lot of wind. I’ve only been making CZcams videos for others for just over a year and this was an early one. I’ve since tweaked my audio editing. However, I’d pose a question to you, is this how you interact with complete strangers? If so, that’s kinda stupid... instead, go make your own videos and show me how it’s done.
YOU EXPLAIN WAY TO MUCH AND I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE TRAIL...
It’s an early video, I’m learning as I go and adjusting how I make these in every upload.
Don’t talk so much...
Renegade Trailhawk owner love this
