Took my longbed F350 crew cab up La Plata canyon in 2013. It is gorgeous up on top. Four mule deer hung around pretty close to us. Saw four guys on Harleys try that road—they, ummm, gave up and turned around. Talked to two babes in a Jeep who had made the loop drive and were coming down the canyon. They said it was a cool route but my truck was to big to do it.
I really need to go back to the Rockies on another vacation.
I tried it in a chevy truck non 4 wheel and did not make it back in 1973.
Then in 1975 I did it in the VW Thing. TOP OF THE WORLD MA!
In 1986 I went up it again in a Chev pu but was stopped by snow.
Then to the top in 1996 in a Chev PU 4-wd.
A regular size PU will make it.
I used to shoe horses up that canyon back in 1973.
