The only word that comes to my mind is “beautiful” the whole place is just amazing...the photography is outstanding...what an experience!!! I guess you can call it car hiking...I’ve hiked many places but I don’t remember seeing vehicles being allowed to drive on the mountains...

We did Black Bear in the early 1980"s in a rental. Rentals are not allowed now. It was thrilling to say the least. I watch these videos often. One of the best comments I've see is that the trail is not so technically difficult but the consequences of making a mistake is what freaks you out. You made mention of the mind game and I totally agree.

This is one of those "nobody talk and turn the radio off" kinda drives.

My wife and and I rode our mountain bikes from a Telluride hotel to the top of the switch backs on Black Bear Pass in 1999. Looking at this video brings back some great memories from when we were young. I can't believe we did that while watching this video. Thanks for the video. No Go Pros back in 1999.

I just did black bear a couple weeks ago for the first time. The scenery is incredible but honestly the trail is a bit over hyped in terms of difficulty. Just take your time on the switchbacks and you’ll be fine.

The steps at the top are probably the most intimidating part of the drive. It is so beautiful dropping down into Telluride the view is spectacular.

As a professional driver of 36 years and I go down mountain passes all the time I am going to say that you guys are nuts at this point.

Thank you for taking me to a place I'll probably never get to personally experience. Simply amazing sites. Thank you.

JL owner: Hill decent control is kinda loud. Semi truck driver: Jake Brake is kinda loud.

It's like driving in a painting.

Good job! Not over dramatized. People try to make it feel like you gotta be a dare devil when being cool is enough, and you were very cool. The only danger is in poorly maintained equipment. Thanks for the ride!

Well done video. For me and the countless others who will never be able to enjoy the experience of this trail let me say. Thank you for sharing with us. So beautiful.

My first time running Black Bear was in a downpour, which made the stair steps particularly interesting. Thanks for the video, glad you had a good time.

I just crossed it this afternoon 08/11/21, a young Mennonite family crossed Black Bear Pass in their stock F-150, behind me the entire time in my Rubicon! He knew his stuff!

Great video, thank you! I don't think I will ever drive it, but glad I could see it!!

Loved the spotter comment. I grew up in Colorado and have been in many situations of huge scary drop-offs. I was taught that if there are no trees then there is more to worry about. If there are trees then your pretty safe....as they will pretty much stop you from rolling down the hill/dropoff very far....words to live by

Great tour! My palms are sweating just watching! Not for the faint of heart

Definitely on my must do trails bucket list.

I would have to have a mechanical break-down at the more hairy spots, beautiful scenery, thanks for posting.

This is one of my bucket list drives!
