Beautiful run up the loop with a cool spring downpour happening between us and the Collegiates. As always, one of the best views the Four Mile area has to offer. The dirt on the downhill side of the rocks at waypoint 6 (in the guide photo) seems to be dug out more than I remember from last year so had to take a little run at them to get the front wheels up and over. Not too bad, but definitely the most challenging part of the loop.

Rainy day. A bit challenging (possibly due to wet tires and rocks) on one switchback, stacked rocks and was good to go. Great views, even with a bit of drizzle!

First run of 2023. Watched a snow storm roll in over the Collegiate Peaks.

Beautiful day, gorgeous views. Some of the switchbacks are pretty tight for a Gladiator, but it just takes a little patience. The rocks at waypoint 6 were a little tricky and appeared to be more exposed/taller than the photo reference photo. Well worth the trip!

Very rocky. Stock wrangler can do it.
