Bronco pic at 12,000 ft.

Taken at the highest road point in Rocky Mountain National Park. Dark sky made for a cool pic so here it is. The Aspen Visitors Center is amazing to visit, but not for the faint of heart!

Well, you have me beat. I guess I had a brain fart and didn't take a pic with the Bronco!

I guess there are higher places, but I like oxygen!

My wife would flip out making that drive, she hates being on a bridge.

I think of all the staff that drive that everyday, I would need hazard pay!

Should go up Pike Peak in Colorado Springs, it’ll put you up over 14,000. Haha. Have fun, I miss Colorado for sure.

I believe the highest dirt road in Colorado is Argentine Pass at 13,200. Great drive the 3rd week of September...

I LOVED driving that road. I think I did it 3 times with my dad. Was one of those perfect days I'll always remember. So cool you got to do it in your new rig.

Not sure if folks know but Ford has a test facility in Allen Park where these were tested that can simulate from -282 ft up to 14,000 ft and a broad range of temperature from -40F to 130F. I can't recall the top speed the tunnels can do.

The altitude simulation tunnel has big blowers that can pull down the pressure to simulate high elevations. To just get inside the tunnel when at altitude, it is something like a 15 minute transition...strictly so that you don't die transitioning too fast.

No doubt that the Bronco was tested there during development.
