Blanca Peak, CO

[TrialByFire]

I ran the Blanca Peak trail on September 1st with a couple of guys from the NM 4-Wheelers. Trail Damage has it rated a low-end 7, hi-end 8 which would make it the hardest trail I've run. There was really only one hard obstacle (Jaws 1) with a couple more where you wouldn't want to slip off the edge! Due to the XK wheelbase, I had to winch over Jaws 1 both going up and back down. The wife was driving down and rolled the front passenger tire off the rim going back over, resulting in an interesting remount, but we got it and back home just fine. It was a great trail, great weather, and great company!

Heading up:

I got some web cam video of some of the other obstacles but need to do some editing before I post.
