Now you gotta lift that xB and put some AT tires on there... and climb Mauna Kea! haha jk. Nice shots. I gotta go back Mauna Kea and shoot more, it looks like another planet up there.
Last time I went, our truck had a air pocket in the cooling system and all our coolant dumped at the bottom of the mountain. We made it all the way up, and back to Kona with no water... I was expecting a cracked block... Go Ford!

I love that xB. Those rims would look hideous on most cars, But I absolutely love them on your xB. Good work!!
Not sure if anyone has gone on it but:
Trail Ridge Road is not a precipitous gravel track snaking up a mountainside to a dead end. Also known as US 34, it's the highest continuous highway in the USA and it's well-maintained, so you don't need a high-clearance vehicle to drive it. It runs 48 miles through the park from east to west, and ranges in elevation from 8,000 feet to over 12,000 feet.

Anyhow, Super cool pictures! And a good looking xB! A Great combo!!!!
!!Edit!! Oh how forgetful I am in my old age. What about our clubs Annual Mount Evens Drive. It's highest point is 14,240 feet, Mount Evans has the world's highest paved road. Our 4th year of this is this month.
