St Elmo trip

  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

Did you feed the chipmunks and see the humming birds?
I love that place. What kind of vehicle were you running? The pass over to Tin Cup is a bit rough and you need a bit of ground clearance.

I hauled my teardrop up to the top of Hancock last fall and spent the night at 12,000 ft. Mt. Antero is a beautiful drive and can be done in most stock SUV's.

I saw a lot of humming birds, no chipmunks
I have a 2017 Jeep trail hawk with rock mode etc. I could have done it but have zero experience so didn’t try
Is antero through the same tin cup pass or a different route?

It is a completely different route. The views from there are much better. I followed a stock Chevy Suburban up at one time so it's not that hard. But if you're afraid of heights and narrow roads you might want to think twice.
