A photo from the top of Cinnamon Pass - 12,600 feet in elevation. We came upon this Honda XL650 rider who had cracked his case and ruined his clutch on a rock. We loaded him up, and trucked him and his bike over the top of the pass and down into Silverton where he bought us pizza and locally distilled rum.

Leadville area of Colorado is downright majestic. Serious elevation up there, your Raptor looks happy.

I dug the Raptor rescue story too, sound like the guy was thankful.

I was just there in July. We used the RZRS on the pass, it was amazing. What wasn't amazing, was the trip from Ouray to Silverton. No one told me about the Million Dollar highway. We were driving the Semi, with a 40 foot toyhauler. That was insane. I want to go back, if we do I will only take the Raptor.

Gotta tell you, the Raptor performed up there. That machine has absolutely no concept of what "difficult terrain" is. Steep grades, rocks, loose dirt, stream crossings or smooth, dry pavement, it's all the same to a Ford Raptor. Folks, we are fortunate Americans indeed to own machines like this.
