    161. Engineer Pass in Colorado: Shelf Roads, History & Big Mountain Views

    Engineer Pass in Colorado is one of the highest and most dramatic sections of the Alpine Loop—and it definitely tested our nerves. In this episode, we share what it was really like to drive Engineer Pass after warming up on Cinnamon. We discuss the differences between the two trails, the ghost towns and historic stops along the way, and why this Jeep Badge of Honor trail is worth the challenge. From Capitol City to Rose’s Cabin, the history here is just as breathtaking as the views.  💬 Send us your favorite idea: thefaiolas.com/sayhi Show notes: thefaiolas.com/161 Website: https://thefaiolas.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefaiolas/  Send us a message: https://thefaiolas.com/message
