Has anyone on here done Medano Pass towing a trailer?
The family and I are planning our Summer trip and one of the stops is Great Sand Dunes NP. I would love to enter the park from the East over Medano Pass to get to our campsite at Piñon Flats at the park. This will be towards the end of July so I think the water levels should be low enough.
The trailer in tow is a 15’ Taxa Cricket. We will be traveling from Florida so no chance of scouting before although I’ve watched several YouTube videos (I know...
) of people doing the trail and it looks doable. We have taken it on some of the green and blue trails (Class I - Class II+) in Moab and Southwest Utah last summer without incident. It’s upgraded to a lock n’ roll hitch and has 12” of clearance at the lowest point. My main concern is departure and breakover angle as the trailer is almost the exact same dimensions as the 4Runner (Length and Width).
Any information, help or advice is appreciated!
Here are some pics of the trailer in question.
