Alpine Loop 4x4 Trail - Lake City, Ouray, Silverton Colorado - Moderate Jeep, Badge of Honor

This amazing loop trail located outside Lake City, Colorado is a great Chance to see amazing Mountain View’s and Aspen trees. We tackled this trail in September during the fall color change. This video discusses logistics of driving the trail, then we show lots of video from our trip - with helpful hints and historic information.

That was one of if not the best tour of the loop I've seen on youtube. Thank you.

This is probably the best introduction to the Alpine Loop. I was so anxious when my husband began booking the trip but you made it easy, thank you so much, specially the part where you explain with the map. Thank you so much and it is certainly a trip having.

Nice video and coverage of the Loop. We spend the summers and early fall in Lake City every year and do the Loop several times each year. One additional thing to consider, especially if ledges and heights concern you, is to do the loop clockwise instead of counter clockwise. Clockwise (Cinnamon then Engineer) will put you on the inside of the road when you meet someone coming from the other direction and you have to squeeze by one another. This is helpful on the shelf road, the descent from Cinnamon to Animas Forks, and the backside (west) of Engineer Pass). Late September is my favorite time with all of the color and occasional snow.

Love your voice! Thank you for this wonderful, educational and detailed "review" of the Alpine Loop. A very well-done video by a fellow Jeeper. :)

Thank you for this! We'll be doing the path from Lake City over Engineer Pass and on to Silverton next weekend. This really helps put my mind at ease in what to expect.

One of my favorites. I always start in Lake City, go to Silverton for some BBQ brisket and a beer. Then head back over which ever pass I didn't take to get to Silverton. A great long day.

We love that area! BTW, you have pretty hands!😊

Nice video. I grew up in Ouray, Durango and Telluride. Went to college in Gunnison. I worked two summers in Lake City at a guest ranch. It's a beautiful place. You must take the Durango to Silverton narrow gauge railroad. Even as someone who grew up fourwheeling, camping, fishing, hunting, etc, that trip was awe inspiring.

We have Jeeped these trails since the early 1980"s. It is beautiful.

Videos like this are a great help to plan off-roading trips since my wife is terrified of heights and roads without guardrails. My wife and I are planning to buy an off-grid travel trailer to tow with my 2022 Power Wagon so I can park the trailer so my wife will have a nice place to hang out if I go do some off-roading that would make her uncomfortable. Having the trails marked "Easy", "Moderate", and "Difficult" is great information to have also since I'm not overly interested in damaging a $75k truck nor at the age of 70 having to dig a truck out or walk out of an alpine area. I did all that sh!t when I was younger.

This is the most informative video of what the trail entails - thank you! There are so many videos but they’re all disjointed and no way to see what’s what.

The best instructional and educational video. Thk u
