    Canyon routes in Breck/Vail/Leadville area!?

    So far I have found Loveland pass, Swan mtn. rd, Hoosier pass, and my favorite 10th Mtn. Division Hwy/US-24, and I am hoping Hangermans pass/CO RD 4 will open up. Looking for more please!!!

    Hagerman's won't open for awhile due to the high snow pack, and it is a rocky dual-sport ride. Not paved.

    About 15 miles south of Leadville/Hagerman on U.S. 24 you can find the recently opened Independence Pass to Aspen.

    From Dillon, consider these nearby sweet roads...

    At the "C" on the map ride east and tag Ute Pass, but return to CO 9 at the top unless you don't mind riding hard pack dirt at the bottom off the east side of the pass.

    Continuing north, ride past Kremmling, then at the "D" ride west on CO 134 for divine Gore Pass. 134 concludes at CO 131. If you point the handle bars south the sweet 131 will take you all the way back to I-70 at Wolcott, not far from the Vail area. But I must point out what a turn north on CO 131 will deliver at Oak Creek ("F"). Ride the great Twentymile Road up to U.S. 40 near Hayden then return. Enjoy.

    Rode on 134, 131, and Twentymile yesterday, all for the first time. Road conditions are superb, very little traffic during the week. You may want to be flexible on the route as Yampa valley could have considerable flooding in the next couple days.
