Ophir & Black Bear Pass - Utah to Colorado Adventure

[@CherryBlossomChaos]

I've been working two jobs for a month now in order to save up for a new Jeep. It's gonna be my first Jeep; and hopefully the first of many. It's not easy as I'm not used to working 16-18 hours a day, but I'm hanging in there. Your videos have been one of the main reasons I haven't given up. I can't help but dream about all the things I'll be doing once I've accomplished owning one; not that I've been having any dreams lately lol. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your videos

[@TrailRecon]

Your hard work will pay off and once you get the keys to your new rig and get to go have some great adventures, it will all be worth it!

[@CherryBlossomChaos]

TrailRecon That's what I keep telling myself whenever I feel like quitting. That it'll all be worth it in the end. Thanks again, and keep doing what you're doing.

[@JacobHopeTXL]

Just get a cherokee

[@CherryBlossomChaos]

txlbmx JHope I would, but the Rubicon is one of my dream cars. I would much rather just work my butt off right now while I've got my heart set on it; than to just get a placeholder car and put it off for some more time. I don't think I'd forgive myself if I put myself through this only to come up short. Plus, I'm not just saving up for the car itself, but also the mods and just rainy days in general.

[@realaussiemale567]

Cherry Blossom Chaos Seriously, save your money, or save more to pay for all the suspension upgrades, h/duty steering component upgrades, bearings, bushes & whatever else crappy Jeeps need replacing, straight out of the showroom, before u go off the beaten trail.

[@TrailTime.]

I’m doing this after EJS next week. I’ll finish at my uncle’s house in Colorado before heading back home to northern Ca.

[@groberts1980]

I did all of the passes the last weekend in June this year. Black Bear, Engineer, Ophir, Imogene. It was one hell of a weekend! Easily the best trails I've ever been on with the best views I've ever seen.

[@keithtauber4153]

Wow what a cool trail. Seems way too crowded though and that would likely ruin it for me. But, holy crap, is that a house at the top of that cliff? Unreal. Wish you all went to that building to check out.

[@March1966]

Thanks for not editing out your little backwards tumble while filming. A little chuckle and modesty goes a long way to earning much respect. I’m new to the channel but have checked out a few of your vids. Great work, I’m so jealous. There is nothing scenery wise here in the Midwest like the places you’ve been to. You’ve given much inspiration for me to plan a trip out west.

[@vwfez8697]

I wondered about that . I thought maybe you were out in eastern Colorado or something !. hey awesome video. I was out there in my vw bus and went up through the mine and the first 200' of black bear oustide of telluride . my budy was living in dolores. we drove is bus up out of ouray on yankee boy basin road, pretty sick. especially in a vw bus!! keep the awesome videos coming.

Good video.....Ophir is O-fir....like a fir tree.

[@rogermolina1244]

This is definitely on my bucket list. What's really impressive is seeing videos of folks in RAV-4's like ours (08 V-6 limited) and newer ones (TRD and Adventure versions) completing the BBP trail without any problems. Thanks for the great video!

[@paulvalenzuela5847]

I just did the Ophir to Black Bear run, and I loved it. Raining, minor streams here and there with the occasional JKU or Gladiator driving by.

[@hirolla74]

I am the one who passed you doing 95.

[@Radiohutch1]

Exceptional. My wife and I and our 2 kids did Black Bear back in the 80s... Then more recently just the 2 of us did it again..with a guide! What an experience!! Scary as hell too! But, definitely one that you have to do at least once in a lifetime. Great job!

[@emonkandahari9404]

I just bought a Jeep, and I’m a pretty new subscriber. You’re videos are amazing. Your production and camera work are awesome. I can’t imagine how long it must take you to edit and add commentaries. These adventures look amazing. I’ve already started adding little things here and there to my Jeep, but watching your videos really gets me excited to hit the trails!

[@DieselFirefighter72]

Just completed Black Bear Pass yesterday. It was absolutely incredible. You definitely need to pay attention what you’re doing. We stayed in telluride due to nothing being available in Ouray, so Ophir Pass was the shortest point between most of the trails we did. It’s also spectacular.

[@SoudedFakhry]

I love America, it’s the most beautiful land on earth 🇺🇸❤️ and by the way Jeep is the best off roader ever, great, amazing video, bravo 👏

[@CountyClaire]

This was an amazing video! I sat in the galley of our RV and cried on the chest of our Labrador Retriever while my husband drove Independence Pass in CO....I'd be out walking on this one.

[@cynthiaharrison4610]

I was raised in Aspen and learned to drive on Independence Pass. Not nearly as scary as city traffic, to me at least. I've driven through most major cities at one time or another. Dallas rush hour was one of the most hair raising of my life.

[@Bisonmaczr2]

The best video of watched yet on black bear pass. Great footage and informative. It’s on the list for 2023 for us. Can’t wait.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you and best of luck on your trip next year!

Working 12 -6 hours a day paying the bills and for the kids college, I need this to start living life again and your videos inspire me to get out, and have adventures with great people live those on your videos. Hope to see you all on the trails some day. Keep up your inspirational and educational videos. They are appreciated by many.

[@boomerantics9586]

Drove Black Bear a number of years ago in our stock Rubicon. I'd worked myself up a bit over the whole thing but was most concerned about the switchbacks -turned out the steps were more unnerving. I predicted, however, that having done it once I'd want to do it again but, like you, I was happy to say I'd been there, done that and moved on. Also drove Imogene after lunch in KTEX and that made for a long day! Thanks for posting!

[@MrArielabella]

wow I love this vlog, the cameraman very professional, it look like a high budget film..

[@Raptus_Gaming]

Really cool to see you guys do black bear. Was in Colorado about a month before you guys got there and my cousin took us on black bear, most fun I've had in a long time even during the switchbacks

[@te897]

Wow. Spectacular and that will be as close as I get to that trail. My fear of single width roads and heights, no thanks.

As a photographer i am amazed how these little guys blend in with the landscape. This one is 4.26-4.28 I Really like your videos. Thanks

[@chuckcribbs3398]

Great views! I just drove the Alcan Highway from Dawson Creek to Tok then onto Anchorage. One thing I really like about your videos is the music. It fits the mood. I hate the constant heavy metal some KZbinrs feel the need to use.

When a Rubicon is hesitant, that tells you something. Great vlog, I was VERY nervous and sensed the anxious moments like I was there!!!!!!!

Funny seeing all the specialty vehicles driving the same trails we did in or vw vanagon. Yep two wheel drive Queen mattress camping gear wife ,son in wheelchair ,german short haired pointer had a blast.

[@1STGeneral]

The nice thing about trail etiquette is helping others in need no matter the rig or situation. My comment was not of jealousy but of the memory. My son has since passed but I doubt many children with muscular dystrophy have experienced the places first hand that he did.

[@sublime929]

Most of what is done to these rigs is out of a love for modifying and upgrading. Competent driving skills go a long way. A stock 4X4 will go everywhere a heavily modified rig will go with the exception of the toughest trails. Sure maybe not as easy but it can be done. For what these guys like to do there is no such thing as "over" prepared. Just in case...

[@edwardsimmons3721]

I have wanted to hit that trail for years, about 25 that is. I always love watching vehicles navigate the pass.

[@silverstategarage4834]

One of my favorite hunting spots has a couple gnarly switch backs like you show around twenty minutes in. They can definitely make an easy trail feel way more dangerous! Good video, great scenery!

[@bspizzledizzle]

I did black bear a week or two after you. Watching this footage gets my heart pumping. That granite slab area scared the hell outta me.

[@TrailRecon]

Agree, that slap was sketchy!

[@BobLoblawbob]

When I was 12, my dad drove our loaded down old Willys Jeep over that trail in 1970 with Mom and my bro. Sandwiches, dog, guns, whiskey, no flats, maps or walkie-talkies, no drama, nothing but net. We thought nothing of it, went searching for tougher terrain. He even let my 14 year-old brother drive Black Bear for a spell.

[@MonsterNaps]

I was watching this thinking my stock tacoma could probably make it just fine unless is was missing something. I'll make sure to bring sandwiches and the dog.

Was after the pass, was right by a switchback, had one wheel off the ground for a split sec. I did black bear when i was 14, older cousins are half crazy and it scared the crap out of me! Last dollar road is an easy but pretty trail also, from just outside Telluride over towards Ouray. Great spot to watch planes take off out of Telluride and what a trip that airport is!! Nice video!

Really enjoyed your video...the details are super. It's dynamite that you and your son do this together : ) In about 1975 on a September late afternoon, I tried Ophir from the Telluride side in my VW beetle...it was already dark when the grade on the shelf road got steep enough to kill the engine no matter what you did. Bar none, the most terrifying driving experience I have ever had...and I have had a few. Luckily the VW had a hand brake to use in addition to the foot pedal and that my sister and daughter were there to play critical roles. I won't say more...I might have to write you an email : ) In the mid-80's my daughter gifted me and we took a commercial Jeep trip over Black Bear Pass, also in September. It was a small open Jeep, just the driver and three of us passengers. Great driver, wonderful trip, lovely adventure with my daughter.
