Construction and repair of this road was completed in 2016 and the road is now smooth with no potholes. The road is, however, only a narrow two lane road with little to no shoulders. Only a few pullouts, mainly in the Tarryall reservoir area. There is quite a bit of Aspen color in the fall. It is a fun and scenic route. If you are in the area it is worth the trip.

I worked on rebuilding a 9.5 mile long stretch of this paved road last summer and into the fall of 2013. It is a great road as it was from Jefferson CO. heading South East towards Lake George CO. for the first 10 or 15 miles or so until you arrive at the very scenic Tarryall Reservoir lake.....it has several pull off areas on this route but not much in the way of bike friendly shoulders.........there are also several trailhead parking lots to park in while taking in a walk or hike on this route......the area that we completely tore down to bedrock and started all over starts at the concrete dam of Tarryall Reservoir and continues South and East for another 9.5 miles and includes turnouts and parking lots also the same as the first portion of this road..........the scenery anywhere along this road is fantastic and there is even a couple of ghost towns to stop and explore along with a pioneer cemetery to visit and view along the first portion of the road before you reach the lake......after going south and east on the new portion of the road that I helped to construct the old eroded road turned into somewhat rough pavement and riddled with a few potholes but the State of CO. was putting out a job bid to complete this last section of 7 miles of road down to the small mountain town of Tarryall, CO.......heading south out of Tarryall, CO. on CR77 heading to Lake George, CO. the road is smooth and in good shape there.....some twisties but very sporty handling type of a road all in all......take a camera and enjoy the ride.....get off the bike and enjoy a picnic and a nice hike along the creeks that flow through this valley......North and South of the town of Tarryall are several private and free campground areas also....and several off road bike and jeep trails abound in the Southern portion of this beautiful ride....lots of fishing opportunities in this region also......ENJOY!!!

I rode this road this past weekend. The potholes are mostly gone. They seem to have covered the roads with gravel where the potholes used to be.
It was safe enough, even for big cruisers, but speeds had to be kept low.
The scenary was worth it to me, but it's not a ride most would enjoy.

I rode this in Oct of 2017 as part of an annual father/son motorcycle trip my father and I take (we go different places each year). Bottom line is this is simply a fantastic route as the scenery is among the most pristine in Colorado ... you'll see tons of beautiful rock outcroppings & cliffs, green pastures, mountains, rivers, and the very beautiful reservoir. To make it every greater, the pavement looked new and there were probably 3 or 4 cars we say the entire trip and it has many nice gentle winding curves as well as a few twisties thrown in. Solid 5 star road!

It looks like most of the reviews are older. I rode this about a month ago, June 2017, and it was fantastic. The road is brand new for about half and a few years older for the rest. No potholes. The views are amazing, I did it going East first and then back West. Going West you get amazing views of the mountains jutting up in front of you. I ride fast, and there were almost no cars on a Sunday afternoon and and plenty of places to pass. The turns are not too tight so you can really open it up. It's pretty remote, I didn't see any police and I can't imagine there are many out there. Coming from Denver I was pretty low on fuel by the time I got near Lake George, but there is gas there. This is now one of my favorite roads around.

I noticed the submission date is July of 08. I was on this road in September of 08, and it is far and away the WORST ROAD IN COLORADO. There are more potholes per mile than you can possibly count. It's not just the number of potholes but the size of DOZENS of them is more than 6 feet wide. A notice to anyone wanting to try this road is DON'T. There are to many other decent roads in Colorado.

I'm not sure how to get it changed, but this road is definitely *south* of I-70, and so should be in the "Southern Colorado" group.

The scenery was AWESOME. We happened to stop at a store right at 285 and 77 when a gentleman selling brats suggested taking this route. Best suggestion ever!!!

This is a fabulous ride! It has beautiful scenery and the riding aspect is very enjoyable. The turns consist of rolling mid speed (marked 30-40mph) turns between the base of the mountain and the flat prairie. For about 2/3 of the road it is very nice fresh pavement. The rest is old hot mix pavement with black sealant strips that I assume are slippery, so I recommend slowing down a couple of notches just in case. This is well worth going out of your way for!
