Stan & Cathy,,, great shots... Wish I could do that one... I wouldn't feel comfortable till I get my brakes done !!!! That's really steep stuff,, but the views at the top really seem worth it... Any problems with overheating during the climb ??? Maybe a neat "Fun Run" ??? Phil :mrgreen:

no problems over heating 4 wheel lo in 2nd to keep the rpm's up just a walk in the park as far as a fun run... at the top 3 jeeps max like I said a long bed would never make it... the switch backs are a killer with my unlimted it takes me 5 back and forth to make the turn and there are over 12 of them

I'd like to try it just to see if the truck can make the turns. Supposedly it was designed with switchback-prone mountainous roads in mind. I've found I have a tighter turning radius than my daughter's Wrangler, even though I'm as long as an extended cab P/U.

I've never done this road before.

it just takes you all the way up to Frenchman?
you have to do any significant hiking to get to the summit?

this looks fun!

I can't do much on weekends. I work at Red Lobster and usually have to work nights and weekends! My days off usually fall on Tuedays and Wednesdays or so.
