Situated about an hour from the Denver and Boulder Metro areas, Kingston Peak is a high-altitude trail that is a must-do for anyone in the area. Although they call this the Kingston Peak Trail, the real beauty and focal point are the amazing views of James Peak for almost the entire route. James Peak is 13,294 feet and is named in honor of Dr. Edwin James, an early explorer, historian, and botanist who was a member of the famous Stephen H. Long expedition to Colorado in 1820.

I did this trail a few years ago. It was a lot of fun. The ledges are not very steep and are pretty wide. It wasn't very technical and can be done on a stock jeep.

@Trailsoffroad 9 месяцев назад

We totally agree! Its a great beginner trail that provides a bit of challenge and some amazing views. Thanks for watching!

@WayawayAdventures 7 месяцев назад

I love that you drop constant reminders to avoid widening the trail.

@Trailsoffroad 7 месяцев назад

The trail braiding up there is getting pretty bad. We'd hate to have the FS shut this down due to not staying the trail. Thanks for watching!

I moved to Colorado in 1992.Rode my dirtbike up there many times.So that mailbox has been up there since the early nineties.Not there as a 9/11 memorial.But if that brings back memories of 9/11 thats fine.Its a worthwhile trip for sure. Very beautiful area and views.

This was out go to trail for a quick trip from Denver. It was fun either direction. The old pines on the south are fun to explore and the north side has great views. The rock shelter overlooking Loc Lomond where everyone adds a few rocks to the structure, but I don’t think the mailbox was there? There was also a completely rolled up pickup on the left side of Little Echo Lake that had rolled down there about 25 years ago. It was there all the time we drove the road. thanks for the memories. We haven’t been in there since we loft Colorado in 2010.

@Trailsoffroad 8 месяцев назад

It is one of our favorite trails so close to Denver as well. Hearing people were using their 4wd vehicles to get out to these spots back in the old days always brings a smile, thanks for sharing your memories.

@coloffroad 3 месяца назад

One of our favorites. Not difficult, but a great trip from Central City to St Marys Glacier. My wife even came over and watched you video. Great video. Was wondering if you could still see the pickup that rolled on to the south of Little Echo Lake. It was just a ball of metal. Glad the mailbox is still there. Before 9 11 there as a box there for notes, and even back then you had to add a rock to the area. Thanks a lot for the memories.

@Trailsoffroad 3 месяца назад

Thank you for watching. We do this so people get out and enjoy the world, and help people relive those moments.

Wow that was great. Thanks. Were you on 353 the whole time or venture onto anything else in the video?

@Trailsoffroad 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! Just 353 down to St. Marys, then up to Loch Lomond at the end.

@problu9586 9 месяцев назад

Awesome scenery, for sure. However, will need to carry a self-administer AED for the shelf road sections, LOL.

@Trailsoffroad 9 месяцев назад

Luckily, this one isn't too bad compared to some of the other trails in CO! Thanks for watching!

@problu9586 9 месяцев назад

@@Trailsoffroad I am a sweaty-handed wimp when it comes to navigating shelf roads, which I usually avoid.

@starmanrush 9 месяцев назад

It's no joke. In 1984 I was in a roll over off Gold Camp Road near Victor CO. That was a long time ago and I still have PTSD, though I still go off roading. My wife who was also in the accident won't go off road at all. We free fell for 80 to 100 ft is what the police report said. Then flipped end over end, then rolled. At some point I was thrown out and knocked out. Anyway, 4 people and we all survived somehow. Driver two bones in arm broke, passenger cuts and bruises, me 14 inch laceration of back to kidney with 2 surgeries, cut ear, arm, leg, and head, and severe concussion; wife 8 broken ribs, broken sternum, 3 broken vertebrae, punctured lung, 4 teeth knocked out. Be careful with those ledges!

@starmanrush 9 месяцев назад

I forgot to say I did the Loch Lomond trail this week in a stock 4Runner TRD Off Road. It was rough but I felt safe. I'd say a total of maybe 100 yards or less of drop offs on one side. Otherwise mostly in the woods. I'd recommend it with a high clearance 4wheel and go slow, but not with an average stock cross-over.

@Trailsoffroad 9 месяцев назад

That is a crazy story. Glad to hear you guys are alive to tell the tale. Sometimes people arent so lucky. Thanks for posting your story. It is always a good reminder of what can happen to anyone at anytime in this activity.

@marshallgerston4809 3 месяца назад

Those Jeeps look like they ride pretty good. I've been an off-road guy for years (dirt bikes and SxSs), but I'm thinking about getting back into a Jeep. Is the ride in these modern Jeeps like riding in a paint shaker or is it tolerable? I like the idea of being able to make a loop without always having to head back to the trailer. Thanks.

@Trailsoffroad 3 месяца назад

Depending on how you build our Jeep, they can ride super smooth even while off-road. It is important to do your homework first so you don't have to do it a 2nd time.

@marshallgerston4809 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll start looking into it.

@wanderingoglethorpe 5 месяцев назад

I'm planning on heading to Colorado this spring, is this trail doable in April/June?

@Trailsoffroad 5 месяцев назад

You can watch our website and people will provide updates for the trail conditions. If all access you can ask the locals what they think when it will doable based on the winter conditions.

@MissouriAdventures 5 месяцев назад

Didn't look like there was a lot of shelf roads? I'm trying to find some trails with little to no shelf roads for my wife and daughters but it is hard to come across this any information on this.
