Colorado Alpine Loop: Engineer Pass / Toyota Tacoma on America's Most Scenic Road

We are loading up our Toyota Tacoma and heading out to conquer Engineer Pass on the beautiful Colorado Alpine Loop! In this video, we travel from the historic ghost town of Animas Forks all the way to Lake City, Colorado. Along the way, we tackle steep shelf roads, sharp switchbacks, and rocky climbs that are definitely not for the faint of heart! We also stop to see gorgeous mountain waterfalls, beautiful peaks, and even spot a mama moose with her baby! If you are planning an overlanding or off-road trip to the San Juan Mountains, check out our full adventure to see what the trail conditions look like. Don't forget to watch the first part of our trip over Cinnamon Pass too!
