How high (yes...altitude) did you take your JL today?

[Bucaro]

Awesome! How was the trail? We saw a couple big horn sheep.

I would say it was easy. Some rocky spots, but nothing any Wrangler could not take...

Wow, they are friendly!

Very! We were completely caught by surprise by it...

Headed that way next week - looks awesome!

We went as high as the trail would take us and then hiked several hundred ft higher. Can you spot the Jeep..?

Last Monday just to 12,800 on Engineer. The Trash Panda loves the cooler air at altitude

Yesterday, 12,840 on Black Bear. The San Juans aren't challenging but it's my backyard so it's just so easy to access.

Incidentally, a stock FJ Cruiser ran with us and did fine....which I mention only 'cause of the infamous vid of one flopping. Now that I understand EXACTLY where that happened (it's before "the steps") that guy just couldn't drive. That's a pretty big ledge despite the miracle of video making everything look tiny, and the guy in the vid chose very poorly when he didn't square up to it and instead hit it at an angle, dropping his left front tire first

Made it to 13,480 ft on Peak 10 at Breckenridge, then hiked the short 200 ft vertical to the summit. I picked up this Jeep just one week ago. It's been a great way to get the family up these mountains. My 4 and 6 year olds can't make the full hike on foot.

Live in North Florida, I think I got all the way up to 100 feet above sea level. Almost got a nose bleed

Other might make fun, but being from S. Texas, I can TOTALLY RELATE!

The highest elevation I can get to within a 35-mile drive is 5,500 feet.

This is what it looked like up there a week ago.

I live in Denver. It’s hard to get BELOW 5000 feet and ‘easy‘ to get to 12,000.

I used to live in Houston. It was simple to get to 1 or 2 feet but quite hard to get above 100. Heck, I had one house in houston with a slab elevation of 72’!!!!!! 45 miles from the ocean.......

I am a man of extremes.

I know the feeling being from NOLA and now living in Denver. My last house there was below sea level! Now I live at 6200ft with no humidity!

Lived down in Corpus Christi for a few yeas, the only time you got above 10 feet is when you drove on an overpass on the SPID
