that's one trail I wouldn't want any type of oopsie on! haha

Looks like he's still hugging the wall pretty good, did part of the trail fall out? hard to tell from the photo

That drivers seat is permanently creased now.

What that picture isn't showing is how far down that thing would have went. It's a long way. HOLY $#!t are they lucky.

Edit: Can't wait to go back.

kinda like going up the ledge near the end of Doran, but for many miles, and with a HUGE drop off, eh? haha No thanks

[sarah]

YIKES! Just looking at that makes my stomach drop.

Lucky people. I 'm not sure I like the look of that boulder they have the strap around. That area has a reputation for falling boulders.

In case you are not familiar with the Black Bear Pass Trail, this is a photo of the view looking DOWN from that part of the trail:

that's a house there in that first photo, Russ? They must have an amazing view, but man do they have to take that trail to get to their house!? haha

That's the Bridal Veil Power House; it is situated at the top of Bridal Veil Falls and it was built to provide electric power for the mines in the area. The Black Bear Pass Trail is one-way from Hwy 550, over Black Bear Pass to the Powerhouse, then it is two-way the rest of the way to Telluride.

That's it. Nice shots Russ.

I still can't believe you guys are ready to do that trail again! hehe
