Webster Pass and Handcart Gulch are both popular and well known Summit County trails with over a century of history from Colorado's mining heritage. It also connects two other popular and more challenging trails Red Cone and Radical Hill. Both trails that we have previous videos showing the views, obstacles, and adventure these trails have to offer. You guys have been asking for us to show beginner friendly trails and this video is an answer to that. This is a great place to begin your offroad adventures. Enjoy!
About Colorado Mallcrawlers:
We are a channel that aims to show incredible off-road trails and our adventures to get through them with stock or your not so typical off-road vehicles. If that sounds like a fun watch, we'd love to have you as a subscriber! Our focus is making great videos rather than being "Overland Influencers." If you want more from us, we created the channel membership to give our community the best trail info on youtube quicker since trail/overland guides take a while to create. We organize our trips through membership as this allows us to get on the same page before we wheel/film together. Video Editors are Drew Hunter and Dewie Jones. We're always looking for more offroad video editors as we film a ton of trails (most of a video's adsense goes to the editor since that is the work of making trail guides).

TrailsOffroad:
Is simply the BEST trails app, but they do not sponsor YouTubers so most channels will not tell you about them. In fact, OnX wanted me to pay me a lot of money to promote them, but I can not in good consciousness recommend that app (see my OnX vs competition videos). You will love TrailsOffroad, but just make sure they have your area covered before signing up. Use our link for a big discount.
