This Overland trail is the Complete Package | Pearl Pass

Pearl Pass is a Colorado local’s favorite Trail and I’m breaking all the rules by showing it. This is the third segment of what I believe is one of Colorado’s best overland trips, if not the best. Get ready for beautiful scenery, fall colors and plenty of obstacles. Welcome to day 2 as we go from Crested Butte to Ashcroft on the way to Aspen. Day 1 took us to the historic and iconic Crystal Mill then through the Devil’s Punch bowl and up over Schofield Pass. This is Pearl Pass and the most difficult trail of the trip. We have even more water crossings, mud, plenty of rocks to crawl and the best scenery views of the trip. This is the trail to do in 2024 and I’m planning our own return. Yeah, it’s that good of a trail, but it has a short season and sometimes doesn’t open due to snow blockage. Help us keep this gorgeous and incredibly fun Trail open by being the awesome wheelers our community is.

The Black Bear crew gets additional easy to edit videos but offer more up to date info on trails (since guides take a while to put together). The Holy Cross crew gets more say in what videos get edited for the channel (video credits and early looks at Trail Guide edits). https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZNhgEStKFcR_H63ivHKVUg/join 00:00 Intro 00:47 Trip Recap 01:06 Morning Day 2 01:54 Back on the Road 02:00 Paradise Trail Info 02:16 "Cattlejam" 03:01 Paradise History 04:40 WP #7 Switchback 05:30 Trailhead and Regroup 06:00 Moose Sighting 06:30 Crested Butte 07:05 Pearl Pass Trailhead 07:30 Trail system map 07:53 Pearl pass Trail Info 08:10 Vehicle info 08:47 Pearl Pass History 09:12 Gets a little rougher 10:15 Amazing View 10:52 Pearl Pass exit options 11:58 Mud Shenanigans 12:57 Mud Bog 13:23 The recovery 14:00 Back to the Scenery 14:48 Rock obstacle 15:48 V-Notch 16:53 The Rocks Continue 18:20 The Ridgeline 18:50 Pearl Pass summit 19:25 Moon Rock moraine 20:00 Even More Rocks... 21:00 Off Camber Rocks 21:39 Water Crossing 22:00 Pearl Pass North Entrance 22:30 Waterfall 22:45 Making Camp For The Night 23:15 Beer Review 23:40 Trail Breakdown/Review #overlanding
