Part II of our trek down Black Bear Pass. In part I we left off at Adios Curve just past the Steps. In this video we will continue down the trail from Adios Curve through the switchbacks to Bridal Veil Falls.
You will get a drives eye view through the dash mounted camera of the very narrow, rocky and steep trail. The switchbacks themselves are very sharp and take a couple of back ups to negotiate.
As you will see, there are parts of this trail that are barely wide enough for the Jeep Gladiator we were driving. Solid rock wall on one side and a very steep drop off on the other.
They recommend short wheel base, high clearance vehicles and 4 wheel low for this part of Black Bear Pass Road. You don't need to get in a hurry, take your time and pay attention to the road.
Low range and low gear will save your brakes from overheating which could result in a very bad day. The trip is not bad, it is rocky, rough, narrow and steep. If you are afraid of heights, what can I tell you, DON'T LOOK DOWN!.
Or, maybe Black Bear Pass is not for you. Mistakes on this road can be very costly, even deadly. Once to Telluride, we continued up and over Imogene Pass and down to Ouray, Colorado.
On our way down to Ouray, we came across several Colorado State Troopers directing traffic and investigating an accident. A tour guide with two customers went off the road in a 2022 Jeep Gladiator.
They fell 100 feet and landed upside down, then continued to roll another 140 feet down the mountain. All three were killed in the accident. Very sad and unfortunate.
It is a solemn reminder that, while offroading is fun and exciting, it can become deadly in an instant.
