Mosquito Pass/Wheeler Lake CO

[mosupernak]

Great trip! We had three Vail local 4Runners with three levels of modification. Mine's the black one with fresh trail damage. I had a rear sway bar bracket come loose, so now I guess I'll just take the whole bar off. And a rocker panel dented pretty good on a rock (is that why they're called "rock"er panels?). Now I wish I would have bought those sliders last week... Any way Mosquito Pass can be done in a minivan, but Wheeler Lake can be pretty tough with the optional fun stuff!

Looking for the right line

...and that was not it.

Jeremy made it up!

Then Jeremy almost flipped and went around the next obsticle, as did I. Jordan in his lil stock red runner named "Tanya" (don't ask) called it a day after seeing it.

Us at the lake its beautiful up there!

We caught it at a magical time of day, it was breath takeing. I had to keep reminding my self to watch the trail!

Jealous that I didn't get any pics of me here...

Really enjoyed the trip. It's a mostly mellow trail, but we pushed it everywhere we could! Happy wheeling from Vail everyone!

Looks like good fun! I can't wait to get out to Colorado one day. From the looks of things though, I'm pretty sure I'd never come back if I ever make it out there.

Yeah that happened to me. Moved here from FL 4 years ago to board for 1 winter and that was 4 years ago. Its true you move here for the snow in the winter but then realize the summers here are even better! Move you won't regret it!
