Yep.
San Juan Mtns. Corkscrew Gulch up to California Pass then out the Alpine loop to Silverton.
Scraped the air dam some, drug the ball mount a little, had to 3 point a turn.
No problem.
California Pass 12960 ft.

Sure I do, I just don't do any rock crawling type of off roading with it. We just went camping on Buffalo Pass outside of Steamboat Springs to try out the new topper.
Used it to help out a mini van that was high centered on a rock that the F150 could clear without any trouble.

Just take it nice and easy. We talked to a BLM volunteer, He had gone up the trail the day before and said it was fine.
Not technically hard, but fairly steep with sheer drop offs and great views.
There was only one section, a long steep incline over fist sized rocks, that bothered me. Wished I had different tires.
Wonder if Ford road side service would have found me....

Have you been down to Echo Park in Dinosaur NP?
There is a trail the long way out, maybe 50 miles or so, that allows great views of the canyon.

One of my first trips was out to Sea Rim SP and down the beach.
Came back through Bolivar and took the fairy to the island.

Actually that picture was taken south of Galveston at San Luis pass. Just this past weekend. We do go out to bolivar also. San Luis is a much larger beach and a little clearer water.

Check out the trails around Ouray... You aren't too far away, and the trip will be worth it! Took mine out there a couple summers ago while at a family reunion. I can't wait to go back! Nice pics, and it is good to see others actually using their trucks' capabilities. Love the E-locker in mine....
