Crystal Mill is an iconic Colorado historic structure that has two ways of getting to it. Lead King Basin is the more challenging FUN way. This is our first part of what we are calling the Ultimate Colorado Overland Trip. We start from Marble CO with this fun way (very spicy) to Crystal Mill. We use a stock Jeep Wrangler, FJ Cruiser, and two Jeep Cherokees so you can have a better idea if you're up for it. We believe many stock offroad model vehicles (stock wranglers, stock Broncos, stock TRD offroad Toyotas, etc) will be fine, but this Lead King Basin Trail guide shows you the trail so you can decide for yourself. Always use your judgement when offroading as trails change and safe offroading is as much about the driver as it is about the vehicle.

More information on our Ultimate Colorado Overland Trip:
This is Part ONE of a Three Episode Overland Trip from Marble, CO to Aspen, CO that Drew is editing (so it'll be great). Part 1 is Lead King Basin to Crystal Mill. Part 2 is the Devil's Punchbowl known as one of the most dangerous Colorado Trails. Part 3 is Pearl Pass and that was a wild high mountain adventure. Other trails that may make appearance into the videos are Paradise Divide and Aspen Ski Mountain. We ended up doing a bonus day and took Taylor Pass from Aspen to Buena Vista and that video is posted. I have a full writeup of this whole trip posted on Colorado offroad trails (https://www.facebook.com/groups/color...) if you want a written out guide.
