  • @briank06261973 @briank06261973 The song took it from the sign that used to be placed at the trail head. It specified "Telluride, city of gold. 12 miles, 2 hours. you don't have to be crazy to drive this road, but it helps. Jeeps only."

  • Good Vid, maybe a little more on the comunication department with the spotters. (Camera person and spotter combo???) It's amazing how easy this road is now....... In 1974 I went over this road in an '52 willys pick up with 'worn out' snow tires. I rode shotgun as my older brother drove. The sharp turn just right of the small water fall before the switchbacks start, used to be 'off-camber' to the down hill side so far that it was almost to the rollover point with out the cliff

  • Actually black Bear road isn't one way until you reach the waterfall just before the switchbacks. Even then it more of a guideline than a law. But, Black Bear is one of the most difficult trails in the San Juans. Not so much difficult as intimidating. Before you set out on any of these 4WD trails, you should read up on the ratings and go by what they say. At the very least, inquire locally as to the road conditions.

  • maybee need to learn how to wheel and to spot this is horrible

  • The 4runner could do it easily but the explorers are idiots. But I wouldn't chance body damage in either.

  • I was planning a vacation this September here. I may change my mind if there aren't any paved roads. I was gonna rent a cheapie car and enjoy the scenery.

    Maybe I'll go scuba diving instead.

  • DEE DEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • If we ended up dead at the bottom of the canyon, then yes, complete idiots. But, the fact that we were prepared for the unexpected and applied a solution and survived negates the idiot rating IMHO.

  • "You don't have to be crazy to drive this road, but it helps."

    From CW McCall's song "Black Bear Road

  • Wrong vehicles and inexperienced drivers on black bear..... complete idiots!
