Wow! That is very well said, Sir.

Thanks. I don’t entirely agree, but I better understand now.

You make good sense.

I’m approaching elderly as well.

I’m going to be 100 in 2052.

I'm a year behind ye' "old man"!! . lololol

Nice job using a thread about someone's tragedy into a place to share your photos.

You must be jealous of the photos. I, having never been there, simply viewed the photos demonstrating just how dangerous the roads there are not the op bragging. Thank you op for showing your pics.

Didn't see a problem w/ it either, nice to see the terrain for a point of reference, skied Telluride first year they were open but never been trailing around there. Thanks for the pics, looks like a great place to explore.

I seen this yesterday posted by the San Miguel Sheriffs. It’s crazy, not sure what happened, I was just there about a month ago, and talked with a buddy that’s a Telluride Marshall there still trying to figure out how it happened.

Here’s the trail where it happened, kind of wide. And I guess they were there for a little while before being able to call 911

That certainly looks like a safe place to pass, but you need to understand that many people on the high passes are simply not competent, and/or scared half to death.

They often pull over in really lousy places, and one must deal with their choices.

I tend to go way high, if I have a choice, because that gives them more room, and they aren’t typically as willing to go up sideways as I am.

In the end, though, I pretty much always know where each one of my 4 wheels is, and where it is going next.

I consider that to be critically important information.

Plus 72 is the new 50 !

This is good news as I am almost 50 again..... LOL

Fabulous! Thanks for posting!

Does the fact that the photos Ron shared do not show the road the incident occurred on change your opinion?

No sorry. Gives me a general idea of the dangers on that route.

Wow. If I’m lucky enough to make it to 72 I hope I’m still capable of Jeepin like these two bad asses!!!

I can relate, I’m almost there and have a brand new Jeep.

Plus, 72 is the new 50 !

I am not sure about that bombastic statement. I am in my 50s and I feel like 80 way too often.

I’m with you there. It’s all about the mileage, not the age.

Harumpt! Young whipper snappers. Guess that puts me in the elite then. I'm on the edge of 73 AND female AND loving driving my 2018 JLU. Only consolation to my "advancing maturity" I made is to replace the side step rails with one that upon opening the door flops down another lower step so I don't do further damage to my reconstructed left hip...and using the handhold to hoist up. It's a fun trip. Would LOVE to go on some of those trips -- with someone else driving.
