As we approached a section on Black Bear Pass in Colorado known as The Steps, the views leading down toward Telluride were stunning and, at the same time, harrowing. I had concerns. Not only had a light drizzle lingered throughout much of the day, causing the mix of granite and loose rock to become slick, the A-TRAC system – Active Traction Control – in our 100 Series Land Cruiser wasn’t functioning properly. All of this culminated into a journey that depended on nothing but 4-low, a bit of skill and a relatively new set of 275/70/18 BFG KO2 tires. This was going to be interesting.
