Looking to head back out to the Colorado Rockies again this July.  My sister lives in Evergreen, so we will be close to some great riding.  Looking at CO-103 between Evergreen and the top of Mt. Evans...

We will probabally spend two days riding around the area. so we will hit a bunch of roads, this would most likely be a shot trip out and back (breakfast run) while waiting for some of the crew that may be staying in Denver (Littleton) back around noon.

Thanks in advance!

Stay on Squaw Pass road, all the way around to Idaho Springs. Hit the freeway to return.

Oh My God Road, AKA Virginia canyon, from Idaho Springs to Central City. It's dirt, but an exceptional Colorado experience.

Lookout Mountain, Golden to Genesee Park. Watch out for bicyclists, seriously.

Bear Creek Road, Morrison to Evergreen.

All can be done over a long lunch break.

I would add:

Golden Gate Canyon Rd (just N of Golden)

N Turkey Creek Rd (Evergreen to US285)

Deer Creek Canyon (just S of where N Turkey Creek meets US285)

There must be more...

Just one more reason to buy a KLR!
