Well no one was hurt, and the damage looks cosmetic enough, gotta watch your wheel base on those switch backs, that terrain looks like it falls apart at random.

Local facebook page had this to say.. They have a photo of the spot on there as well.
"They were in front of us Saturday, happened right after the falls. Driver got scared because rear tire started to slide on a little rock and he turned into the mountain and that's when it rolled. Both people were fine they hitched a ride into Telluride."

My view on this.. and very lucky no one was hurt.. But what was the driver doing?.. what was the passenger doing?.. how fast were they going?.. how many times has this driver taken trails.. Lastly and very important.. how is the insurance adjusters handling this.. I doubt rolling a jeep off road is in the fine print..
Got this info from Bestop Uk on the same date you posted it here.. https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/118188...ts/JTALruX9q4w

"Off road" in Colorado sometimes has a different distinction than elsewhere. Some of these are official roads--Blanca Peak, which makes Black Bear look mild, is an Alamosa County road. The "trails" are even maintained by snow removal crews. My only real question is why was he so far over?
