Made in collaboration with Bronco Nation, this trip was a journey through some of the toughest parts of Colorado. Believe it or not, snowy inclines, cold temperatures, and 50 year old trucks make for one epic adventure. Although the tough times came and went throughout the trip, our group ended their journey in Moab, Utah with stories to tell for many years. A lot of you on this forum have stories like this so I'm sure you can relate. Shoutout to Bronco Nation and all the Bronco enthusiasts that we had a chance to take on the wild with. Lifetime friendships have been set in stone and we can't wait for the next trip! Check out the recap video in the link below! Let me know what you think!

Cool - and cold! It was ~18 deg. when we woke up on Monday morning up at 11,000 ft. Such a great journey - we all had a blast despite the challenges. CB members on this trip in addition to Mitch were Broncitis, Broncojack, Shobronco, Eaglenest66, Scoop, and myself.

Scoop! You forgot Scoop!! :p

LOL

It was a great trip with a great group of Bronco enthusiasts. The night at 11,000 feet was really cold, if you hadn't picked up on that! It really was an epic adventure. Hopefully the first of many to come.

The guide book on Hancock Pass lists it as a moderate trail with one caveat - not recommended with snow! But that didn't stop us!
