Last Minute Trip: Alpine Loop & Black Bear Pass

What are the clearance needs for the Alpine Loop? I drove part of it in a full size Chevy pickup about 20 years ago and it was pretty tame. But I didn't see the rest of it.

Mineral creek has a few spots that a little more clearance would be nice and with a full sized vehicle watch for traffic as it has very little spots to pull off. Other wise the whole route is very doable in any true 4x4 with low range.

Perfect. Thanks @JDGreens

I really can't wait to go back. I want to take my wife along and do some hiking and explore the Town of Telluride and take the gondola to the Alpine village.
It's about 5 hours from home so it would be a good long weekend trip.
