This county road - arguably the most famous four-wheel-drive (4x4) trail in the world - is the source of a million cubic yards of soil that has eroded into streams and lakes on Eldorado National Forest . Oil and transmission fluid also find their way into the environment because vehicles often suffer damage to their oil pans, differentials, and transmissions when negotiating boulder-strewn sections of the Trail.
