Soldier Pass

A fun trail! Be sure to get a pass from Recreation.gov as it is a requirement to gain access to this trail. Most of the trail is pretty easy with the only technical section being the offshute to the sinkhole. My Stock Rubicon navigated all sections easily. Trail was dusty on the day we went with few other vehicles but lots of hikers on both the hiking trail and the driving trail.

Alot of hikers. The few vehicles encountered were friendly and had good trail ettiquette. Scraped a few times in my Tacoma and did not do the offshoot to the Sinkhole. Great scenery and enjoyed the drive.

Did this on a stock suspension, DCLB taco with a 2-bike hitch rack. I do have 33s on however which gives about 1.5 inches of lift from stock. We did most of the trail including the ledges about halfway up, however we didn’t end up doing some of the side trails due to time constraints. We scraped the hitch rack maybe twice due to unavoidable climbs but all in all it was fairly doable. Certain sections are narrow and will put scratches on your paint, and if the jeep tours are busy then you’ll have to reverse to give way on occasion.

Short fun trip out & back with a couple of quick diversions. Be warned, however, that the trail to the sinkhole has some obstacles that will scrape a stock Gladiator Rubicon.
