Mosquito Pass - 8/16/2014

[alexb]

After running Breckenridge Peak 10 (http://www.frontrange4x4.com/forums/showthread.php?21960-Peak-10-Breckenridge-Aug-16-2014) Jim, Tom, and myself went over to Mosquito Pass.

It was a lot bumpier and a lot more rocky.

To get to London Mill, there was a very deep water crossing that we apparently took no video or still photos amongst us. :) I asked Tom how deep I went and he said there was water washing over my front fenders. It was significant. :)

We all did make it and here we are at the mill.

Very rocky road. This was a smoother section.

Tom. This pic really gives a sense of scale.

Looks like an awesome day!

Looking at the pictures after the trip, I can't get over how blue the sky was. :)

[Fireball]

It was a lot bumpier and a lot more rocky.

Nice pics! I had a feeling it would be too rough for me to handle.

You would be able to make it with some good tire placement Steve. I ran it a week or so ago in my stock 2004 V8 with very little trouble. One of my favorite trails for scenery.
