Hi all,
We have a trip planned with our TT through the San Juan Mountains and Telluride. I do not have a jeep but my TV is a Sierra 2500HD 4WD. I would like to take the opportunity to get up in the higher elevations and have been looking at some of your posts.
I understand there are limitations to taking a pickup on some of these trails and I have ruled out Black Bear Pass but there are some trails that I've been seeing on Google Maps that I might be able to do. Here are some roads I'm interested in:
Rd 630-D65 Ophir to US-550
Forest Rd. 815 to Clear Lake
Imogene Pass
My truck is a crew cab long box so the wheelbase is 167" and total length of 21'. I have 8" minimum clearance at the rear differential and 10" everywhere else. This truck is completely stock including tires and has skid plates at the transmission and transfer case. I have a little experience at 4 wheeling but have never been out west.
I am asking if what I have in mind is doable and if there are any other roads worth checking out. Thanks.
