Colorado trail conditions

[James B]

Heading out to Colorado next week from Michigan.

We're planning on doing:
Mosquito pass
Mineral creek (then alpine loop)
Imogene pass
Ophir pass

Has anyone done these recently in a raptor? If so, how are the conditions? How's mineral creek in a raptor?

Thanks in advance!

Just did engineer 3 days ago and part of mineral creek. Mineral creek was tight but doable had to go Rock crawl mode for little bit. I scraped couple times underneath and exhaust pipe once. Did see one laid over not sure how. Rained yesterday and today. Did Ophir over year ago was very easy, my friend did that one in 2 wheel drive Chevy truck.

Thanks for the reply. I might skip mineral, let's see how we're feeling.

Has anyone done imogene lately? I hear it's not too bad in a raptor.

One last thing, bring cash. Lake City's internet was down so had to get gas in cash. Gas over there is anywhere from 4.25 to 4.99

I went down old stage a took a couple of offroad trails there. It was super fun but watch out for all the jeep owners here. Trails here are narrow but nothing the raptor cant fit through, at least all the trails I went on. Just watch your ground clearance and you should be fine. These raptors can pretty much go through anything except rock gardens.

I'm planning on hitting Imogene and Engineer in late September. I've done then in a FJ40, Rodeo and a 79 F150 longed with the 300 6. You should be fine just use a spotter in the tight stuff.

Just did Imogene last week. I'll post some pics when I get back home. It was my first offroading since Raptor Assault and the truck performed beautifully. Have fun.

Mosquito pass today. A few scrapes, but definitely worth it.
