A Jeep overturned? The driver must have been checking the trail description on 14ers.com and drove up the bank.

Come on, bro, he was obviously driving down hill. So, the only logical explanation is that he was updating his checklist after the hike, on 14ers.com...

Probably dishonestly claiming a snowflake too. The jerk.

At least he was nice enough to not block the road.

Distracted driver or considerate parker, you be the judge.

Can't quite make out that license plate. Montana?

Must have just moved. Quite impressive actually, not a lot of people can flip a car like that. :lol:

That really does suck though. Anyone have an idea of how much it would cost to get a car out of there?

Push it back over and drive on. Just another day in the mountains.

If that is not your style, seems a good place to remind people about this fantastic resource. I keep their phone number in my vehicle at all times!

Like, how would you push it back? Pushing it onto the roof would work, but not quite the outcome you probably want. :twisted:
