Ajwcotton,
What portions of the Alpine Loop did you run in that high country? I have a 17 F250 FX4, 2.5" level and 37" tires and I'm trying to find places I know I can go and camp. I'm coming all the way from Texas so planning as much as possible.

I did the entire loop. The only thing to be mindful of is your length. A dude in a 2 door jeep said I would have trouble, I had to do a couple 3pt turns, but there wasn't any terrain that a full size pickup couldn't handle.
Black bear pass isn't on the alpine loop the loop has engineer and cinnamon passes. Black bear goes down into Telluride

Oh ok, I'm still not familiar with what to expect. But from what I can gather, if the weather is right I can make it in my truck. Did you do any camping on the loop?
Did some camping just south of clear lake let me check the site. It was primitive but very nice and good view. The couple hr trip up to clear lake was worth the view for sure.
South mineral campground was the name.
As long as there isn't snow or a ton of rain to wash out the trail you should be fine. Also in the 4x4 season there are constantly vehicles coming and going everywhere if you do get into trouble.
