Great Motorcycle Roads – Aspen, Vail, Glenwood Springs, Leadville, Twin Lakes, Fairplay, Silverthorne, Georgetown
So what's the scoop on some of these? Glenwood Canyon may be interstate but the canyon is perhaps the most gorgeous in the state. It's worth hitting a little superslab. If you go up through Aspen and beyond you'll cross over Independence Pass, which is itself one of the best passes in the state. Taking McClure Pass you get to see the backside of the Maroon Bells, the iconic mountains that appear in so very many photos from Aspen. Tennessee Pass and Fremont Pass both bring you up from I-70 to Leadville. Tennessee Pass is the prettier of the two but they both have their attractions. Further to the east, Hoosier Pass goes up from Breckenridge and drops down to Alma and Fairplay in an area called South Park. (Yes, that South Park.) Berthoud Pass carries you over from I-70 to Winter Park. And U.S. 285 comes out of Denver over Kenosha Pass and drops you into South Park at its east end. Loveland Pass is an alternate route to going through the tunnels on I-70. It takes longer but passes like this are the reason you came to Colorado, aren't they? For those with a camping bent, most of the highlighted roads have good, motorcycle-accessible campgrounds. As the heart of Colorado's tourist region, hotels and motels abound.
