Alpine Loop, CO

[kiecker]

I've ridden the Alpine Loop a couple different times with my motorcycle.

Alpine Loop

I remember when going over the passes (both dry and in the snow - early Aug surprise after waking up) that I would love to show my girl this area but not via 2 wheels. I've since bought a 2013 4Runner Trail Edition w/ KDSS. No modifications have been made to the suspension - I've only installed a luggier tire of the same stock size 265's. I don't remember anything being really challenging on Engineer Pass, California Pass, Cinnamon Pass, etc but I was looking with through the eyes of a motorcycles not with 4 wheels.

Wisdom on the list and locals, can a stock TE make it on the Alpine Loop without dragging parts? Thanks! Planning a trip for mid-Aug

Have driven most of those trails in a Dodge Durango so I think the only place a stock 4Runner would have issues is on the wall on Pougkeepsie Gulch.
