Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For the Drive through Wolf Creek Pass!!! It’s been years since I made that trip! I really enjoyed it!

[@houliemon1315]

Me and Earl were hauling chickens on a flat bed out of Wiggen's and we spent all night on the up hill side of 37 miles of hell called WOLFCREEK PASS !

[@capt.tripps]

This is the reason this Florida Craker loves this channel. BALLS!! Thanks for the ride guys, think I’ll head to the beach.

[@michaelpearce8661]

Watching it at twice the speed makes it look real and scary at times. Try it.

[@kristinradams7109]

Wow. At first, I thought you guys were driving to that hotel in The Shining! I'm glad y'all made it okay, and thank you for sharing this adventure with us 😄🙏😄🙏

That's in Estes Park, about 5-6 hours north east from where they are now.

[@cherylstarke5206]

Wow what a trip!!! Beautiful but what an adrenaline rush! Felt like I was in the truck with y'all!! Thanks so for taking us across the pass too! Have a blessed and restful day y'all and give Grim a hug for me💕

Ah, reminds me of all the roads in Norway. Fun to drive in the summer

[@spitfirered]

This ride was tantalizing, scary and if not bad enough with snow and rain on it, I haven't been on a road like this in 50 years, retired in Florida and that's where I am staying. Great Driving Skills Diamond, Kudo's to you Sir, I do have to say it was exciting, have a safe rest of the trip!

[@bruceraggett4506]

Alien Alan: "I like lower gears", (ie. keep off the brakes). This guy is worth listening to. He's been there.

[@Mb2IseeU]

Yes he’s right. Let the engine brake for you with the lower gears. In the mountains you have keep it in the lower gears in the snow

What is so dangerous, I ran Wolf Creek back in the 70s when most of it was 2 lane winter and summer. It's today's truckers that make it dangerous. The one thing you have to remember is don’t stack your chickens higher than 13 6

[@dianesaldivar824]

Yuns needs ta record this route in the other three seasons for us ! I remember well Big Thompson canyon in spring and summer (four years after that horrible flood) and the gorgeous scenery on both sides of the Eisenhauer Tunnel in mid winter. The heavy artillery near the ski resorts was a special thrill . . . so was the Christmas Blizzard of '82. That darn C.W. McCALL song keeps cycling in my head.

[@lovesmykitties9672]

Ca 62 by number of persons travelled per mile. From I -10 Palm Springs exit to Az Parker. By dead per mile driven car collision/accident was 62(29 palms hgwy) at La Contenta/Mesa Verde ;a blind corner with wind blown sands 4" rain/yr so streets oily, where nutjobs drive 65+ on 45 road. More USMC dead on this road/Amboy Road to vegas killed than kia 1990- today. Base exit. Bear Tooth pass at 5mph in August full sun was worst I have driven. Snow at 12000' then. Wished we were able to see you in Co. Best wishes. Much Love to you Alien Allen and Leah. ❤️

[@keving4792]

Drove that pass in a Ford E-350 15 pax van when it was snowing at a rate of three inches an hour. Could barely see three feet past the hood. Was at a top speed of 15 mph, but was usually less than that. Four wreckers were on that pass dragging vehicles out of ditches and ravines. I never lost control or traction once.

[@StockedShelves]

Not gonna lie, was wondering why one of the guys sounded like Diamond and it took me 5 minutes to realize what channel I was on. Think it's time to for me to lay off the reefer :o

This is a place I've always wanted to see. There's nothing quite like mountain snow views.

It is in creditable! Need to experience it at least once! Can you imagine the kind of people it took in the 1800s to cross those mountains? The mountain men that took it on?

[@lesliedurant1662]

i all thought that red mountain pass was the most dangerous

Try this pass at night in a blizzard (white out conditions) alone with no traffic ahead, no snow plow trucks and on coming vehicles refused or forgotten to turn off their high beams, especially LED, SCARY is an understatement, especially north bound between the summit and Southfork-very narrow and curvy (absolutely no shoulder).

[@philipbearly6620]

The year was about 1957. I was 7 years old. Wolf Creek Pass was 2 lane, winding, no shoulders, no passing, no avalanche tunnels, no runaway ramps, just dangerous. We were going from Loveland to visit my grandparents in Cortez, middle of summer. We came upon police, cdot, and fire trucks about 1 mile above west switchbacks, but no "wreck". We had to stop, so Dad asked what happened. A car hauler semi loaded with brand new Fords, I believe, had lost his brakes and run off the road into the canyon clear to the bottom. They went down using long ropes to retrieve his body, but, as I understand, the whole mess is still in the bottom.

[@philipbearly6620]

Many years later, late 60's, while construction to widen WCP was in progress, we were headed east bound near same area, and there was another car hauler full of 1967 or 68 Oldsmobiles, I think, was able to run off into construction area and stop by straddling huge boulders. The lower deck cars were jammed and stacked up against cab, and upper deck cars had flipped off to side of cab onto their tops. Driver survived fortunately, but front axle was wrapped around a 4 foot diameter boulder just like you'd wrap your arms around it.

[@ColoJan]

Nice drive...didn't get any snow in Naturita, but did in the Nucla area and other places of that elevation and higher.

[@johnhaller7017]

Hey Monsieur Le Diamond. Wolf Creek Western Australia, you know, where that meteor touched down way back in the Dreamtime. It probably hasn't rained there in a century. Slightly different from where you are. Very educational too. In the land downunder we don't really see conditions like this. Nice to see that global warming takin hold though. Take care.

Yes, it can be if you do not use your head. Trucking is not fun and games...there are places that require your driving skills and just common sense and logic. ( same goes for 4 wheelers as well, as most cars tend to go over passes often way too fast)

[@suzieq5640]

Wolf Creek used to be TWO lanes! Yikes!

[@peregrination3643]

Imagine what people a few decades ago had to deal with when it came to mountain roads. My parents showed me the two-lane road (that's still around) that was where I-70 is now. 13 hr drive.

[@austindenotter19]

I was noticing the same thing.

[@neeterb5584]

In the 1960s my father was a traveling salesman with a territory that covered Colorado, eastern Utah, northern New Mexico, western Kansas, and Wyoming. Everything was pretty much two-lane roads. All cars were rear wheel drive. There weren't all-season or even radial tires, everything was bias ply. In Colorado you had 2 sets of tires, summer and snow tires. If you lived in the mountains, you had snow tires with studs in them. You carried a shovel, tire chains and sand or kitty litter in case you got stuck. My dad had six weeks to cover his territory, no matter winter or summer.

[@suzieq5640]

@@neeterb5584 Your dad had quite a job! Tough winter travel! We skied on Wolf Creek Pass. We were all ski racers & went there in the 1950’s, 1960’s.

[@hisimagenme]

First, thank you to all the drivers, no matter where you drive... you are not appreciated enough. Second: just out of curiosity, what makes Wolf Creek do much more dangerous than the other passes in Colorado? I mean, they all have to be kind of dangerous right? I'd be careful on any pass in them Rockies, especially in winter...yikes!!

[@ceruleanc505]

I can see why the trucks go off in that spot. There needs to be a very large flashing warning about that curve.

[@neeterb5584]

Close to the top of the pass there is a huge sign showing the way the road is going to be with signs warning to slow down. As you proceed, there are signs about the grade, using low gear, etc. There are two runaway truck ramps (with signs as you approach them). The second ramp is about 1500 feet before the big hairpin curve. Not too sure what else CDOT can do.
