I rode the northern section in 2017. Was an enjoyable day, particularly so after the 2 previous days in Rocky Mtn. NP then Mount Evans on a Saturday (avoid), plus the July monsoons on top of a mountain (hail). So yeah, I was ready for a day on this route from Denver to Montrose.. great ride. Monarch Pass was the best part, but very busy on a Sunday
