Most Dangerous Trail In Colorado | Black Bear Pass in a Toyota Tacoma

Today we tackle one of the most dangerous off road trails in Colorado. Black Bear Pass is a notorious jeep road trail that starts from 11,018-foot summit of Red Mountain Pass on U.S. Highway 550 to Telluride, Colorado. I’m absolutely impressed on how my Toyota Tacoma performed.
Enjoy!

Did this trail in a Toyota Trecel…. It’s an easy drive just steep cliffs.

[@nordic5490]

Yes, low cog vehicles are better. All the snowflakes driving their nuttly lifted trucks get nervous due to the cabin tilt from their high cog vehicles, and from disconnecting their sway bars - what did they think would happen ?

[@ChicanoOne760]

@@94Elantra he's saying you can conquer the trail in a fwd car. No need to insinuate the man is poor

[@shanew.8784]

Calling bs on doing this trail in a tercel, you may have driven up from the telluride side to the waterfall, that is not the 4x4 trail you dud not drive over the stairs in a tercel without serious body damage

[@94Elantra]

@@ChicanoOne760 Perhaps you need to review who I was reply to.

[@Hunter-eu2jg]

Dad took me, my brother and mom down this trail for a family jaunt about 15 years ago in an old 1970's jeep. He didnt tell us what to expect until we got there and handled the trail like an old pro. Love you dad

[@noname-zg8lh]

Was he also working for Toyota and had all his gear paid for and producing 30 minute commercials for Toyota?

[@skreeeboy]

@@noname-zg8lh "an old 1970s Jeep". Your comment would probably be better as a response to a different post bro. Not sure what the relevance of it is here.

[@davidarthur5444]

The footage you got is incredible. That burrito looks even better!

[@kyle_throws_tools]

Just did this trail a few weeks ago in my XJ Cherokee (was first person there, same day the Wrangler rolled). The trail isn’t that tough... BUT no video can convey the uncomfortable feeling of being off-camber mere feet away from a cliff. I’ve knocked it off the list, but I don’t need to do it again. Poughkeepsie Gulch was far away my favorite trail in the region.

[@FishermanATX]

What a great video! From off-roading to the awesome great views! Awesome man!

[@phornpharath9525]

Such amazing video man!

[@oceanbeliever681]

Bro great video and great music!!!! Really dig your channel man.

[@williamfawkes8379]

I have to say, watching you wheel with live audio, and quiet toyota engines, was very nice. Its amazing to be in a place like you are, and sometimes loud exhaust gets old real fast, especially on an overland trip.

[@bustabeatgeorge]

William Fawkes thank you for watching, I agree, I removed the trd exhaust which made a huge difference.

[@kevinxiong8694]

Thanks for sharing the video. As I see the fun and important part is the friendships. Friendship don't make you get boring ro enjoy the overlanding. Keep more videos.

[@GATORADDAM]

Definitely cool video! I drove all the way out there from Florida back in July and did the passes. Black Bear was my favorite. I was alone and had the trail pretty much to myself. No spotter and it rained and sleeted coming down the steps. But I lived. Lol.

[@Kgomez02_]

I want to do this trail but man. I was so anxious watching that, great video.

Overlanding is just getting to a hunting spot, without the hunting

[@TruettD]

If you bring guns it could be

[@ur_asian_milfoil]

We do this in our Mini Van while hunting lol 😆

[@MrAhoelzel]

Ha! Amen. That is all I could think of while watching this. I hunt 561 in CO and there are plenty of goofy roads with sharp turns, steep drops, and high vistas. These fellas were pretty conservative and hugging sides. Badass view on this fun road however!

It's been a few years since I've been there, beautiful place. Man, you guys eat well.

[@johnyortiz8774]

Beautiful scenery. Scary as hell though. When camping in the cold make sure to bring a nice sleeping pad with a high r-value to help some of the loss of heat due to conduction. It's a game changer. Great video.

[@mintforeverphotographyandv4731]

I just did black bear a few days ago. It poured down rain right as we got to the steps. That made it exceptionally scary! But... the whole crew took it slow, and spotted each other down. I have to say... this trail is a one and done for me. I'm glad I went and did it, but I definitely don't plan to return! Lol

[@JovenRBX]

you guys have the sickest toyota crew!!

[@skreeeboy]

Being from this part of Colorado (and even having gone to middle school in Telluride) it was interesting that I was able to guess where these guys were from. After the first few minutes of the video, I was like, "I bet they're totally from California." and I finally caught a glimpse of a license plate, and yup, Cali. They're totally cool and chill guys, and I wouldn't hesitate to hang out with them, but it's interesting how "outdoorsy" people are different from region to region. It's like they're their own type of rugged, which is like, kind of cleaner? More stylish? More with it? All your clothes looked laundered and wrinkle free. Even the hoodies. And your trucks looked super nice too. Maybe "California Rugged"? And it's really different from what I'm used to which I guess is "Colorado Rugged". Ha ha. Glad you guys enjoyed your visit to the San Juans, and thanks for the great video!

[@ADDvanced]

Just say rich people.

[@skreeeboy]

@@ADDvanced ha ha, or at least, very image-conscious, which does take money to achieve. Even the meals they eat. Shrimp? That looks better than what I usually eat at home 🤣 Don't get me wrong, it looks delicious. And if I were with them and they handed me a plate, I'd be so grateful and impressed. But when I'm out car camping, it's like, a can of Ranch Style Beans opened and placed on a rock next to the fire using a pair of pliers eaten with a pack of store tortillas, or if I have a Coleman with me, it's Spam and potatoes and a beer, ha ha.

[@jgm113]

From Idaho. I know exactly what you mean. You can tell the locals rigs apart from the transplants. These guys trucks are goals but I'm not rich. I hate how you never see older 4runners and hardly any 2nd gen Tacomas yet FJ cruisers are here because they're rare and desirable. Sick builds, but I want to see someone wheel in a secondhand 2nd gen taco SR5 like what I have.

[@jake.porter]

@@jgm113i was just in this area a week or so ago and saw a lot of older 4runners and land cruisers in silverton. makes me want one so bad but even those are selling for ridiculous prices these days

Been to Ouray many times. It's not just some town, that is Off Road Town USA except for maybe Moab. Also, hugging the right side down the steps and making the turn makes this trail more dangerous, not less. Should be lots of guys on the different yota forums that could've told you this. Great vid though and glad you experienced it.
