Camped at a spot between WP 8 and WP 9 on Saturday evening. Almost had the whole valley to ourselves--we saw one truck coming down Brown's Pass, one truck at the north end of Breakneck, and one farther south from us. Coyotes howled periodically through the night, and then a crescendo serenade at sunrise--it was pretty awesome!

We did Breakneck to Twelvemile Lake trail. As a beginner I thought this was a really fun trail, lots of pull offs for camping and not very busy. A couple of steep climbs (IMO) but managed without any problems in my stock Tacoma in 4-Lo. Water crossing was about a 16" deep on one side, the other side looked about 2ft even after some rain. Couple of sections are narrow lined with Aspens which was pretty cool.

Ran Breakneck Pass to get a new GPS track and update this guide based on the partial closure of the northern end of the road. The closure/new "end" is approximately half a mile north/northwest beyond Waypoint 10.

Did Breakneck Pass and Brown's Pass this trip. Trail clear and open. I drive a stock Colorado Z71 and I ran the majority of the two (except for the two steep climbs) in 2WD. A beautiful area, and not too busy. Lots of pullout camping spots for the rooftop tent crowd. A few beautiful, wide meadows for ground tent camping. Plenty of trees for hammocks too, if you're into that. We camped on Brown's Pass on the way back down.
There are two points on the trail that were really fun. Both Breakneck and Brown's Pass have one steep, rocky climb to them. It's nothing a stock high-clearance 4-Lo vehicle can't handle, though. The rest of the trail is mostly undulating, occasionally rocky Forrest service roads. Great views! Doing both trails and stopping a couple of times to look at stuff took us about 1.5-2 hours.

We ran Breakneck in conjunction with Brown's Pass. It took us about 1 hour to reach the top. We did about 3/4 of the trail in 2wd. The trail is well maintained. There are some sections of trail that are much too narrow for passing other vehicles, so keep and eye out for those places to turn-out, in case you need to back up.
The trail is now closed shortly after WP 10 on the map.
NOTE: There are multiple other off-shoot roads that branch off of Breakneck. Some of these connect to other trails, while others are just out-and-back types. Check them out as there are several that are quite fun.

was open until about 6 miles in. about a half-mile past 176 it's closed for revegetation.
lots of fun puddles and colors are changing already so lots of yellow Aspens. beautiful drive. at 5.5 miles or so just take 176 up Browns pass.
I had to use 4 low but no problem with my stock XJ.

Tons of mud puddles because of all the recent rain, but it made the dirt pitch before Browns pass a little more interesting!!!! Glad I had the option of going out 176, would have been sketchy going down in the mud. The section to 12 was like being on a really cool ride with all the puddles!

I took a quick run up the trail to find a camp spot. The trail is clear all the way through and i looped it with Browns Pass which is also clear.
There is no snow on either of the trails and both are very dry and dusty.
