Climbing Pikes Peak in 1957

Damn I want to go cross-country some shit. Would be so much fun.
 
From the pics you post it looks like you can do that it your back yard. :smokin:

:lmao:

We'll, yeah I could for about 4 miles.

I'm talking looking at the top of Sandia Peak that is 20 miles West. Looking at it every night. I wanna start down at the hwy and point it up to South Crest peak and freaking go up there. Wilderness area be damned!
 
I’d give my left nut for that step side:smokin:

all I could think about while watching that is “could you imagine how butthurt the tree huggers would get if some truck was blazing it’s own trail above tree line like that today”?

Ha, I am always thinking, "man this could be a cool trail" when I am out hiking in the Sandias. It is too bad the Cedro Peak trails are the only legal trails in the mountains around here :frown:
 
The running boards on the 72 stepside I just got are straighter than the one you could see in one of those after inspection shots. :laughing: Back in the early 80s I had a friend that worked for Trygve Berge (one of the founders of Breckenridge Ski Area) who made moss rock fireplaces for local houses, he knew where a huge stash of moss rocks were at the base of a steep rocky face pretty far off the road up Boreas Pass above Breckenridge. I went up their with him a couple times getting pickup loads of Moss rock in a 70s F250. That was definitely overlanding it. I was just along for the ride as we were unpermitted.
