A personal favorite. Mostly quiet pass, except when there's trouble on I70. Steady climb with a couple of steep parts. Beautiful scenery, has an Alps feel. Food and water at Arapahoe Basin most days. There is a natural spring on the north side of the road about a third of the way up with excellent water. Highly recommend this ride. Parking at Keystone.... read more
