Black Bear Pass

You don't have to be crazy to drive this trail but it helps. Black Bear Pass is one of the most dangerous trails in the country! Between the 1,000 foot drop offs, off camber switchbacks, and loose shale you are sure to be white knuckeling it on the way down. Black Bear Pass is a badge of honor trail, but they are trying to close it due to so many incidents. So be sure to get out there to enjoy it while you can.

Black Bear is one of my favorite trails and was on my trail bucket list when we built our Jeep. While it is often difficult to capture the "feel" of a trail on camera, you did a great job depicting Black Bear. Thanks for sharing.

[@Big_Boobicon]

Thank you so much! It truly is difficult to capture exactly how it feels. It was on my bucket list as well and so glad I got to knock it out.☺️

[@haloeteam1]

Ran it on the 18th of July second time on it and just as amazing as the first. Finishing the video we saw some of those rigs in the video while we were there. That's AWESOME, Thanks for sharing.

[@Big_Boobicon]

That’s so cool!! Glad you enjoyed it😊

[@ephjay6t87]

I just did Imogene yesterday. So pretty up there. Honestly, I was nervous as hell. The road crews have my deepest respect.

[@Big_Boobicon]

Oh, for sure would not want to be one of the ones cutting those roads in. 🫣😭

[@fredgarvin7033]

Nice run and great perspective filming on the switchbacks

[@Big_Boobicon]

Thanks! 👍

[@richardwilliams7085]

Really like your gladiator and the name of your channel just cracks me up!

[@SIUDubFiend]

Maybe try to find a longer Jeep to take on that trail.

[@Big_Boobicon]

I’m looking to take a limo next time😂

[@maverick_jl]

LOVED this trail! Can't wait to go back & do it again!!

[@aquajeepgirl8842]

What a great video and amazing day!❤ so glad we got to share it!!

[@Big_Boobicon]

So glad we got to share it with y’all as well!

[@marytorbert5212]

I bought a Jeep Gladiator too! I absolutely love mine. That trail was intense. But also beautiful.

[@Big_Boobicon]

It really is!

[@Charlie-go6eb]

Cool video. We’ll be back in Lake City in a few weeks. With a little time up there you get use to the heights. Can be unnerving for some. Beautiful country.

[@Big_Boobicon]

Thank you. I think I just need more shelf road practice to get more comfy. Lol

[@JAMESWUERTELE]

Love your blue heeler! We have 3 of them.

[@Big_Boobicon]

Thank you! We have Jake & Elwood The Blues Brothers😂

[@BruceWells-u8x]

Love the video. Not as good as being there but l know the trail so we'll it brings great memories back.

[@mtbpirates]

Nice job on the video!

[@Big_Boobicon]

Thanks!

[@3smoke]

At 5:24 my feelings exactly on that trail. I've done it a couple of times and it's just not fun for me.

[@Big_Boobicon]

I like the challenge of over overcoming my fears. So if I get the chance I’ll do it again.

[@tailsfromtherails.whistleblowe]

Great video😮 I bet it was tough making the turns with the long wheelbase ❤

[@Big_Boobicon]

Yes it was!

[@mpf44]

Great photography, one of the best I've seen of Black Bear Pass.

[@Big_Boobicon]

Thank you I appreciate that!

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

😂 best jeep model Cool video

[@Big_Boobicon]

Thanks! 👍

[@tilmanvincent7524]

Looks like a stock jeep might be able to ride that trail. Not quite as easy and maybe more time consuming.

[@Retired_from_TX]

I went down right behind them in a stock Rubicon, was probably easier time than they had. 1) lower center of mass is a bit easier on camber, 2) the switchbacks were a lot easier. The worst part is the stairs. The switchbacks are scary because of the drop, but not hard. Unless you are in a long vehicle :)

[@J.Young808]

@@Retired_from_TX 1:35 is this you in the black Jeep? 2:07 or are you the one behind the black Jeep?

[@Retired_from_TX]

@@J.Young808 2nd black Jeep behind them.

[@Big_Boobicon]

@@Retired_from_TXI agree a stock Jeep would take this trail on with ease. Just a little slower on the steps and much quicker around the switchbacks.

[@RUBICON-zu6wl]

Stock jeeps do this trail all the time....

[@oJystt]

Do you know what the rumors are for estimated date of closure? I’d like to make a trip out there with my family before it’s too late.

[@Big_Boobicon]

Unfortunately they aren’t really saying a whole lot about dates. 😕

[@UltraHiDeath]

When was this filmed? It was closed in summer 2023 but not sure if they opened back up this year 2024?

[@buzzdavis8323]

Just ran it July 26th-ish, 2024... so it's open

[@coloffroad]

A 2 door jeep will fit those corners a lot better.

[@Big_Boobicon]

For sure, but wheel what you got.🤷🏻‍♀️

Would Def make sure my brakes are good 😂 Has anyone said you look like Brie Larson?🤩

[@Big_Boobicon]

That’s for sure! 😂 I’ve never gotten that one actually

[@brucemorrison3563]

They are trying to close the road.Who is they?Where did you hear about this possible road closure?Give us some more info please. Thanks. Great video by the way.

@6:56 a Mink runs across the trail in front of you.

[@Big_Boobicon]

So much wildlife up there!

[@jamesddean5759]

They are really trying to close it?? People are so soft. People die everyday of diabetes but they didn’t close all the donut shops.

[@AudioFreqx]

The most dangerous thing about Black Bear pass is tourons in rentals. Always has been. Imogine far more fun and scenic. music as if you're killing the rubicon trail. You skipped sticking your heads in the waterfall up there at the switchbacks? That is a rite of passage. lulz Great footage though!

[@neemz0117]

Im going there next week.

[@Big_Boobicon]

Have a blast! 🤘🏽

[@thejackofalltravels8267]

Awesome video. As usual reckless people are ruining it for others. Since I don’t own a Jeep and likely won’t. And being a passenger is a non starter. Maybe I will walk it and video others driving it

[@willywitzig9273]

boobi!!

[@ssilva9510]

who died and how did it happen? that's probably considered a un maintained county road .The sport of 4 wheeling has been over run by people buying a 80K jeep and thinking they can operate a off road vehicle. just like the ones who buy high performance cars and think they can race

[@karmafarbus160]

I've never seen a Liberal off roader . interesting

[@Brayfrait]

I never seen a Trump sticker on a jeep?

[@karmafarbus160]

@@Brayfrait Or a Kamala sticker for that matter, But I do have an RFK sticker on mine.
