No Chairlift needed... | Peak 10 Trail Guide, Breckenridge CO

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Hope you liked this guide! Hopefully I’m watching this with y’all at the premiere, but if I’m working (on call life, you never know when you’re working), Drew will be around. Let him know what you think of his edit and you’ll see what I think of it in the video. Anyway, really excited to film some new trail guides and make better videos this year! -Dewie Edit: yes, I know I can’t talk, at least I said it right in the trail videos of chihuahua gulch lol

[@KAYAKN]

I just spent a week in Denver and spent one day in Breckenridge. What are the best resources to find the trails? I really wish I would have found this video sooner.

[@anatolearnold1633]

Absolutely great views and professional editing done by Drew! I can't wait to see his editing skills progress and the places you show us next.

[@DH.Maker.Artist]

Thank you! And hopefully we can have your renegade out again too

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Yeah, most impressive was this was his first one with so so footage. I’m looking forward to seeing what he does with Blanca… but I’m still annoyed the camera lost all the narration I did there.

[@anatolearnold1633]

@@DH.Maker.Artist For sure! I will most likely be in my Wrangler next we meet but I would love to get the Renegade on some more trails. Keep up the great work and I hope to ride with you soon!

Welcome back! A 95 year-old friend owns a condo in Breck and was a ski instructor for 30 years. He had Bet Midler and family for lessons and got a $500 tip. He was passing fitness tests at 80 years-old that the 20-somethings couldn't pass! Thanks for the adventure!

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Thank you and thanks for joining in on the live premiere! That’s awesome… ski instructing was fun, tough financially, but absolutely a blast!

[@waynepatton4195]

Thank you for filming this video! I grew up in Breckenridge and I often look online for some nostalgic photos or videos of the area. I moved to California when I was 22 and have been back to Breck about three times since then with my family. A cool story: When I was in my teens, we used to live just off of main street up on Harris street in Breck. I would walk from our house up to Beaver Run and then just hike up to the top of Peak 10. It was usually in July or so as most of the snow was gone. This was in 1991 or so. I would barely take much water or food (which in hindsight is such a teenager thing to do) and I would go up to the very top of Peak 10 (the actual peak above where you guys parked). I'd just sit there and have a snack and take in the view. Often, I would be looking down at Breckenridge on a 75 degree July day down there and some clouds would come over the top of peak 10 and it would start snowing on me as it was 35-40 degrees up there. It was pretty awesome and a memory I will never forget! These videos are great and I appreciate you going up Peak 10. Sorry I'm late to the video, but glad I found it!

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

That’s a great memory!

[@DeanJohnson67]

So glad you have a known person doing the Video editing as he has been in many and likely seen them all! Looked good to me!!

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Thank you! I thought he knocked it out and especially since it was his first edit. I gave all of last year’s backlog to him because I think he can exceed what I can do. Now I can focus on learning to host better, film better, plan better. Thanks for being here!

[@kwmoore3464]

I sure like your videos. I enjoy watching trails with vehicles other than built up Wranglers for a change. I drive a mallcrawler myself, so I really like seeing what other mallcrawlers can do.

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

My hope is to get the liberty out here and make that my main trail guide vehicle. The wrangler would become my daily and scout vehicle. Thanks for watching!

I ran this trail last year. The views are just stunning! Awesome job on the video and commentary. Great job on the editing Drew! As always I'm looking forward to your next one.

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Thanks buddy! I can tell you Drew didn’t have great stuff to work with on this one and I think he nailed it. My goal is now to film the best we’ve ever filmed so he can create some awesome videos!

[@outlaw9232]

@@coloradomallcrawlers If you think he didn’t have a good material to work with, it does not show in the final production. I wish I could have watched it live with you, but I was tied up. Keep the videos coming door to hard, and I still wave at every train that goes by through Castle Rock Colorado thinking you might be at the helm

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

We rushed this one as we wanted to film a great one of the forks of the Swan River trails which we filmed immediately after. That’s awesome and I’ve worked that route a few times through the years. However, I transferred to GJ to get some more of Moab documented while we wait for Colorado to thaw out lol. We’ll likely do more lives… I think they’re fun!

[@outlaw9232]

@@coloradomallcrawlers I love the lives. Keep them going. Grand Junction is not that far from Moab, so I’m jealous. You do amazing work, so thank you very much. I appreciate it and I know you have a lot of subscribers that love it too.

I’m going to Colorado this August and love these trial guides to see where I should go.

[@TGilsAdventures]

Great video! I came across it while trying to upload mine. We run this trail every summer. I'm in a stock JKU. I always air down and disconnect. Seems some are opposed to airing down. Someone already mentioned Crystal Lakes is the name of the other trail, but we also did it and Mosquito Pass this past week.

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Good stuff!

[@escapingthecity913]

Great video. There was another I saw of this trail, and they said the other trail is crystal lake. I'm planning to check them both out in July

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Thank you! Good to know, may check it out… I think Sean and I actually did that one before by accident lol

[@gregbiles7120]

We did this September 2022 and there was no rock stacking on the final switchback which made it nerve racking because there's no room to back up and "try again". I think just driving up to the meadow in the middle is a nice drive if you're not interested in puckering.

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Nice! Good perspective!

[@xziang]

Thanks for the vid.

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Thanks for watching!

[@The_Samsquantch]

That trail to the lake is Crystal Lake. Also have you figured your wheeling schedule for the summer out yet? Curious what trails you guys are planning to hit.

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Thanks! Right now, I’m working out of Grand Junction so Moab/Ouray are in our immediate plans. My work is chaotic tho so I may be sent back to front range mid summer. If so, we’ll keep catching up on front and central CO trails

[@The_Samsquantch]

@@coloradomallcrawlers Let me know if you do anything on front range, would love to join you guys with my XJ if timing lines up. Heading to Moab this weekend and hoping to hit up Dome Plateau. Your video for that convinced my buddy that his Ranger Tremor can do it. :D

Lol, sadly, I like my job (I wish I didn’t) and it pays for this channel… I wouldn’t be opposed to working for a tourist railroad (regular schedule) and ski instructing in the winter if I had other income.

[@boriska13]

Awesome guide, will be useful when I'm in the area this August! I drove just past the dining shack last time (to the gate) but didn't go any further as it was my first time on mountain trails. Will try to do the entire trail this year. It doesn't seem like a busy trail (I didn't see any cars) and you didn't seem to meet many. However, once you get higher, how often are there spots where you can pass oncoming traffic? Thanks for the info. Keep up great videos!

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Thank you! There’s some spots to pass, but it’s a high mountain trail so they can be limited. You may need to back up or wait for another to back into a spot.

[@TGilsAdventures]

Most of the "crazy switchbacks" have enough room to back up and let someone by.

[@everready19373]

I'm surprised there isn't more snow up there.

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

It was filmed last August… Breck is still open for skiing right now I believe.

[@smileyguyz]

Man this makes me want to get outside so bad but it just snowed overnight here in Arvada, I'm sure all the trails are in less than ideal condition. 😔 Summer can't get here soon enough.

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

It’s going to be a late season for these trails this summer! Thanks for watching!

Lol, trying to get two railroaders off at the same time is nearly impossible, but of course, let’s film. I just transferred to GJ though to start covering more of Moab tho… the issue I have is me getting set up, I have no idea where I’ll be when that happens. I’d like to stay in GJ all summer.

[@bikekid360]

Out of curiosity when did you run this trail? I heard rumors that they permenatly closed the upper gate

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Last summer, the date should be noted in the video. It’s just closed due to snow from what I’ve seen on TrailsOffroad. I have not seen anything about a permanent closure.

[@TGilsAdventures]

We ran it 7/28/23. It's a "tradition" for my crew to run up Peak 10, every summer.

[@jasonschmidt6536]

What trail entrance did you use?

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

The one on the trailsoffroad guide… i used their gps route. Hopefully we said that in the vid, but we use trailsoffroad on the trails even if I plan a trip using funtreks books.

[@montelletamez9546]

Did you air down for this trail?

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

I don’t believe I did. You don’t need to for this one and I don’t need to air down for comfort, but that’s up to you.

[@dustywheeler6641]

Luck boxes are fine in the rear, never in the front

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

He’s making changes this year, but experimenting is part of off-road building in my opinion.

[@DH.Maker.Artist]

@Dusty Wheeler From my own experience I can only in good conscience recommend lunchbox/mechanical lockers off-road, and this video even demonstrates one of the reasons I will be switching to an e-locker now that I have the means. Even in the rear on road lunchbox lockers can be unpredictable in adverse conditions. Especially since most off-road vehicles are also rear wheel drive where as at least on road my front axle completely disconnects in 2wd. Off road they perform well for the cost in comparison and engage when needed without the added complexity of electronics and hoses that also have more components to fail. It's actually a similar reason why Matt's off-road recovery has given for why he has a Detroit locker in the front and a positraction LSD in the rear of the Bannana and Morrvair. Each option Open, elocker, air-locker, mechanical locker, LSD, and spool have different trade offs and benefits from cost, usability, durability and complexity.

[@daveharness70]

I had a lockrite in the front and lsd in the rear for years. Unstoppable. Just have manual locking hubs to make non-crawling more enjoyable.
