That looks like Argentine (hence the gold mines). I did that in my 2002 4Runner and my buddy in his Grand Cherokee (his magic awd was not as good as my locked center diff...go go gadget tow strap!).
It was much drier when I did it though. I can't wait to get the VX up there. Heading in to the mountains this weekend, up near Green Mountain Res near Heeney.
Near the summit (also happens to be right on the Continental Divide)
Hiking back down from the summit (4Runner and Jeep are the specks in the middle of the frame)
