This was the first trail I attempted with my Toyota 4runner TRD Pro. I got nervous towards the end and turned around... just a lot of loose shale and such. After doing alot of the others in the area... black bear, Imogene and whatnot I was much more confident and didn't get a chance to return to finish it. I thought that this trail was the most beautiful that I seen on that trip. I will return to conquer it. :) All the trails are breathtaking in this area. Hey look a postcard moment... then turn around one hundred eighty and you say ahh look a postcard moment. If you haven't gone... don't hesitate. I am going to rent a Rubicon for a few days the next time we go. I have since sold the 4runner and I miss it.

That looked way easier in your Jeep than when I did it in my old Ford Focus years ago! Sneffels is a great climb too btw!

LOL @ the backpacker on the little Honda 100!

It’s Sneffels because of Mount Sneffels it’s a 14er mountain.

Awesome drone footage! It was great meeting y'all in the Targhee Forest, hopefully our paths will cross again. We are headed to the Ouray area next week, but I don't think we will be taking Ruby to the summit.😉

Great video, thanks for taking us along! Quick question: what is the rule for when you are in a skinny part of the trail and meet someone coming the other way?
