"...pull my RV up these trails..."
Not all RVs are "pulled".
Unless there's ultra narrow roads getting to these peaks with rock overhangs jutting out from the sides - I'd love to see a Tiger or Earthroamer or just the right 4WD Class B/B+ up on the top of one of these spectacular peaks. I'll bet the Tiger or Earthroamer or Class B/B+ manufacturer might work out some kind of special reward for one of their customers who made it and then allowed them to use the photo(s) in their advertising.
Especially the Earthroamer -> their advertising reads as if their rigs could easily make it and then stay awhile. What a way to spend a night!

These are the area's that we have camped in, we got a little off topic but I have no problem with it what so ever.
DenverDan, what great picture, sure brings back some very fond memories.
We also camped in Holy Cross City before the Army Corps of Engineers drained the bog and the city was closed to OHVs. I'll see if I have any pictures of us camping in Holy Cross City.

Do you see the image of the girl in the side of the mountain in my last picture? Her arms are crossed and she has shoulder length hair.

I don't know if my Tiger could do this. No lockers, no limited slip. Plenty of power at the 10K feet or so that I've had it up to. It's certainly done everything I've thrown it at, except I backed off a couple of days ago from a steep 50 feet or so with really big bumps. That definitely looked like jeep country to me.
Maybe a Tiger could do it with a different driver. One Tiger owner recently did the White Rim Trail.
A Sportsmobile 4x4 could undoubtedly do this trail. Take a look at some of the photos on their website.

Lay off the sauce
Funny, I laid off the sauce in Sept 2000. Haven't had a drop since. Since you mention it, I took a picture of that same mountain back around 1984, and I a friend pointed out the image of the girl. I go back 20+ years later, take a similar picture, and I can still see her. Her left cheek is just below the sign indicating the summit (a little white thing in the picture). She has puffy cheeks, the top of her head is eroded away. She appears to be laying on her back, her body is slightly leaning to the right as you see the picture. You can see her arms folded, wearing a bracelet on her left wrist. You can also see her hair over the shoulder on the right side of her head (left as you look at the picture). You can see a belly button then 2 legs below it. She is about 3/4 the length of the mountain.
Others have seen it too, and many of them don't drink either. Go ahead, look again! Here is the image without all of the distraction.

BTW, I belive that the EarthRoamer XV-JP, the first camper to conquer the Rubicon could do Red Cone easily. I don't know if the XV-LT or the Sportsmobile 4x4 could do so, though. There is some real tight stuff as you ascend the south side, tight corners, trees, and rocks.
That EarthRoamer WV-JP could do so, and should, considering the $110k base price before options.
