I just love the area and with so much nature and history around places like Tincup, Ohio City and Pitkin there is something for everyone. Almost all outdoor activities can be done there. I.E, I like to MTB and have gone up and down Alpine Tunnel which is the first tunnel through the continental divide. There is so much to do there and the riding is absolutely worth it!

The western portion was paved about 6 or 8 years ago and affords good access to some wonderful NF camping along the road near the river up to Taylor Lake (from Gunnison/Crested Butte side). The eastern side was gravel but is now paved and that makes the whole route a wonderful ride. The plus is not many folks know about it so it isn't very crowded, especially during the week (mosly just locals know about it). One of the best kept secrets for twisty riding.

Just want to note that there are few roads in the Rockies that give a visitor all the views possible of high country. This is one and should not be missed if possible to ride it. There are a fair number of locals, actually, as it's just in the back yard of a couple of mountain towns.

Set the cruise and enjoy the curves. There are some tight twisties, but this was one of the most enjoyable rides i did on my week through Colorado. Nice long sweepers that you can power out of and vistas that go on forever. One of the most interesting things I saw was a bunch of sailboats on the huge reservoir along the route. Yes...sailboats. Colorado has some great riding and this is one to not miss. Stopped in Gunnison at The Dive Bar. Yep that is the name, great atmosphere and great food.
