Thanks everyone! Leaving soon to go pick him up from the airport. Wrapping up prepping the Jeep. Praying the rain holds off. We're going top and doors off for 4 straight days. Should be exciting!
 
Hello Idaho Springs! Picking up a fishing license for my buddy before continuing on to Cooper Mountain and Shrine Pass.

What a great idea, this should be an incredible adventure.
Safe travels and looking forward to updates.
 
View from the top. Trying to decide if we should run Lime Creek or skip it. Still lots of trail left to cover before sunset.

Backtracked our way back to Shrine Pass and finished running that, ending in Red Cliff where we enjoyed some awesome food on the rooftop patio of Mangos

From there, drove South to run No Name Gulch which was a lot of fun. Blew my friends mind what the Jeep could do.

That connects to Wurtz Ditch where we got some rain and some epic photography from the roof.

That connects up to Slide Lake where we really started getting rain and hail (August in the Rockies). That made the trail a bit more interesting. The Jeep handled it really well though.
