A: Reese, Mosquito might not be the best pass to take with the trailer considering all of that, but another option for you is Weston Pass. It has WAY better camping options along it and your trailer would make the entire trek with no issues. Far less OHV traffic too. Fantastic views. It is just a bit farther south than Mosquito.

A: Thanks for your responses. This will be my first trip with a trailer so I am planning on traveling on less challenging trails in Montana and Colorado in July/August just to get familiar with the handling etc. under varying circumstances. Perhaps I should turn around and backtrack at Mosquito Pass since that is my main objective? I will look for your and others August report before attempting.

A: 14 feet seems long to me for those switchbacks, but I have never had a trailer of that size. I use to have an 11 foot Morris Mule and I wouldn't have hesitated taking it along those road. What are some other trails you have taken this trailer on?

A: Hello, Reese. I don't think you'll have an issue at WP 6, but the length of your trailer gives me mixed thoughts about the switchbacks at WP 10 because they're pretty acute/tight angles almost forcing you to take a wider/the widest possible line. Your ground clearance should help with rock steps/ledges at WP 10. Stay 4LO and steady light throttle (climbing) and I think you'll be OK. Last suggestion is to stop and walk ahead to view the switchbacks so you can visualize your line. I should be up there before August, so watch for a trail report from me.
