The most Dangerous Pass in Silverton Colorado?!

[@bts650]

I've been over Stony on motorcycles, four wheelers, and Jeeps. Daytime and night time. Rain, sleet, and sun. The only part of the trail that was ever a little sketchy to me was Pole creek, the water level is usually a bit lower and less flow early in the day. I've had the water come up to the bottom of the gas tank on my Suzuki DR650. It's a fun, and scenic trail and pass.

Yeah, someone got swept away in pole creek last year, it just goes to show how dangerous a seemingly unassuming pass like this can be. Unfortunately I read another post last night on Facebook of more emergency responders heading to this pass again.

We have a lot of those narrow shelf trails in N. Idaho, just like Colorado does. They really add the "Pucker factor" when snow wheeling and your tires head for the edge! I don't know of anyone going off one yet, but you really have to have a solid rig with some good skills before anyone will break trail going up them with you!

Yeah, that would be really sketchy snow wheeling! People have a hard enough time in dry roads!

We have done Ouray Colorado several times now enroute to Moab from Tn. When would you recommend the best time for the wildflowers. Wife wants a scenic trip this year and not so much rock crawling!. I get to go back to Moab in 26! LOL

From my experience mid to late July has been pretty good for wild flowers. As you get deeper into August it can start getting cold up high, and they can start to wilt.

If you haven’t, try Schofield pass. But make sure it’s open before going.

I agree that’s a great one, we have run it many times, here is last summer! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGKQhaOdZbKgd8Usi=EPqEF3TmIQT67DoC

What's up with your audio, Rob?

[@wheelinoutwest]

I noticed when on the road, the jeep had a lot of background noise in it, is that what you were referring to?

[@slickrock1371]

@@wheelinoutwest It comes and goes, but I noticed it in one of your previous videos and I figured you might not know about it. It's not going to help you grow your channel.

@@slickrock1371​​⁠, thanks. I have tried a number of things from the external go pro micro phones, to the Bluetooth type. The blue tooth seem very sensitive to accidentally getting scratchy, but the go pro external picks up back ground noise sometimes. I will keep working on it, thanks!
