  • Merus Adventure Park is an incredible place to experience Palo Duro Canyon in the panhandle of Texas. We hosted our 2023 Patreon Fall Gathering there on a cold December weekend and had the best time! Not all of us made it out of the trails unscathed.

    We've been to Merus twice. The husband usually drives on the trails, but Merus is a great place for us ladies to practice our driving skills. Don't be afraid!!! You have a lot of people there to help you along and driving Merus trails will boost your confidence. After all, if you ever get in a situation where the passenger has to drive, you need to know how to get out. Really loved the night runs.

    Black bear pass was closed for rock slide mitigation early this last season, the group that got in trouble drove around the closure signs and got in overvtheirvheads by trying to drive past the slide. The sherif was angry because after they were rescued they posted on social media that the pass was open. I do not expect a permanent closure.

    BTW, starting around 38:45, you can hear something pop as you drive through that area. Can't see anything, but wondering if that part of the trail caused issues with your tires.

    • @OzarkOverlandAdventures
      @OzarkOverlandAdventures  Před 5 měsíci

      You can see my tire causing the fender flare to bulge then popping loose. It’s possible that did something. No way to know for sure.

  • @catherinestitt9640
    @catherinestitt9640 Před 5 měsíci

    As a Colorado resident, I do think that if Black Bear (and other neighboring passes) can be cleared safely, they will re-open. The San Juans had a very snowy winter last year and stayed snowed in well into the summer. By the time officials could access the area, necessary rockslide mitigation couldn't be completed and get the pass open for 2023.
    That said, when people take it upon themselves to "open" a pass without the appropriate officials involved, I think that can influence how much priority those officials put into getting trails open. The San Miguel County sheriff was pretty peeved that people were ignoring the closure last year and putting themselves (and others) at risk. So, before people go on trails - please verify with the appropriate agencies that the trails are truly open so there isn't a reason to close them permanently.
