S.O.B. Hill
The drive from the Middle Fork of the Swan River across Georgia Pass and down into into Jefferson, Colorado would be a cake walk if it weren't for S.O.B. Hill. S.O.B. Hill, also known as "Rocker Knocker" is short, but brutal stretch of boulder-strewn path. I wouldn't refer to it as a road really. It's roughly equivalent to the Spring Creek trail(Family Fun Trail) in Clear Creek County.
If you don't know where your differentials are, the rocks will smash them open for you like an Otter eating a Abalone. This trail is rated "VDL" (Vehicle Damage Likely). Don't try it alone. Don't try it without a winch. I've seen people drive up it and make it look easy, but I'm reasonably sure that you could build a few jeeps from the parts that have been knocked off of rigs attempting the hill.
