The Alpine Loop navigates between the summits of the Rockies by way of two mountain passes both of which are 12,000+ feet.

Be certain of this fact – You have left the payment and people behind as you travel this remote and rugged trail.

You might ask are the roads signed?  Well, just a little but I would not depend upon them.  There are plenty of forks in the road to chose from with no signage.

Afraid of heights?  Scared of blind curves?  Single roads with no guard rails?

Stay Home!

It would be here that I met my first set of people of the Loop.  Father and son with a friend.  The father, an Arizona policeman for over 20 years and one of his former partners.

They had spent the night at this location in there trucks.  I cool setup and I forgot to snap the imagine.  They were going to Alaska but due to “the nineteen” those plans were cancelled.

In speaking with them, this is turning out to be a better journey anyway.  Avid outdoorsmen and really enjoying themselves.

After a different conversation regarding the state of policing, I asked the father of his position.  I got it and it was well thought it.

The end result – Upon returning to his work he will be placing his retirement papers in.  This will be a surprise to the department I am sure given his outstanding record.

It is no wonder why this is rated as one of the top ten places to off road in the USA.  Options!  Options!  Options!

There are a number of ghost towns up here as mining fueled the migrating interests of those fortune seekers.

During different times in my drive, the skies became ominous however for the most part it was good.  I did have snow, hail, rain, wind and plenty of fun!

Cutting a path onto the other side!  Snow way past the roof of the Jeep!
