Roads need work on some of the passes. Lots of tar snakes and some pretty good cracks. Great scenery but won't go back till they resurface the road around Slumgullion pass.

Pretty nice road but the few towns you do pass through would be the highlights. I rode this on July 15th and drove through a hail storm (or was it large pea sized sleet)Not many places to shelter you if you needed it but a good winding road with pretty good views.

This is a must ride for any two wheeled enthusiast. There is everything from beautiful open straights to bike leaning twisties. The scenery is out of this world. The food in Lake City is pretty good and is fairly priced. Gas is also available in Lake City. I found the roads to be in good shape. One stretch of road near Rio Grande reservoir was being resurfaced, but the loose gravel was minimal. I gave this ride a 3 because I compare my rides in CO to Hwy 550 the million dollar highway and it is a solid 5.

I have absolutely no idea why this route is getting such low ratings. I took this route yesterday, and I have to say, this is now one of my favorite roads in Colorado. Scenery is epic, and hardly anyone on it, and unlike many scenic roads in CO, you can keep your speed up for the most part. A MUST SEE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE FALL COLORS!!!!
