BillyVance 35 #4 November 12, 2014 And I thought that wrong turn my GPS told me to take from Blackhawk to Idaho Springs on what turned out to be a dirt road with drop-offs similar to that was bad enough!

CanuckInUSA 0 #11 November 12, 2014 Without a doubt, we're talking death if the driver makes a mistake on these roads as seen in the video. But I am guessing not a lot of people here have been doing very much offroading. Now I don't have a video with as steep of a drop off as seen in this video, but I did tons of offroading this summer on extremely narrow trails with drop offs that would also result in death if the driver was to make a mistake and the only difference I see with this video and some of the trails I did this summer is, where are all the boulders to crawl over? Try some of these narrow "you better not make a mistake" trails and then throw in a 3 foot boulder ledge to climb up or down over at the same time. haha This is different, but a similar danger. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick 67 #12 November 12, 2014 yeah not many cliffs in Florida we were in Virginia a few years ago and I was white knuckling it on the Blue Ridge Parkway You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #13 November 12, 2014 When we offroad in the Canuckistani Rocky mountains, we are also only going about 3mph. haha ... I never knew going so slow would be so much fun. But it is.

CanuckInUSA 0 #15 November 13, 2014 Here is something "not for the faint of heart" almost in your backyard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blz2pzrdzao It's a cool video of Black Bear Pass between Ouray and Telluride. There are other videos that are longer than this one, but not everyone here might have the patience to sit through a 20 minute video. So this condensed version gives you an idea. Now I have not personally done this trail ... yet ... but we have similar exposed terrain here in the Alberta Rockies and as you can see, go slow in 4-low and you can do it. But it helps to be a little crazy. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
