Getting High in Colorado - Flat Tops Ep. 3

We came back for Round 2! After having to ditch our last Colorado Flat Tops 5-day overland route due to an unexpected illness, we loved this area so much we just had to return to finish out the adventure. This spectacular wilderness area is less crowded than the popular San Juan mountains (which we also love) but is loaded with some of the most beautiful mountain settings you'll find anywhere. There are incredible camping spots all over the Flat Tops. Some of the 4x4 trails in the area are rated difficult and should only be attempted in a lifted vehicle with the right equipment. We towed out a Ford Raptor and a Jeep Cherokee on this trip so you really need to be prepared with proper gear and the ability to self rescue (or travel with others). While full size trucks can handle most of the roads, some of the roads get pretty narrow and are recommended only for a 4Runner, Jeep, Tacoma, or similar vehicle. Join us as we check out Rifle Falls State Park, ascend rugged Blair Mountain, and camp in the remote backcountry near Adams Lake. Although we modified our route to include the world famous Transfer Trail, we got the original route from Overland Trail Guides (not sponsored).
