Berthoud PassUS 40 branches off from I-70 at Empire, running up over Berthoud Pass to Winter Park. The pass is full of switchbacks and work is in progress widening the road, making it less treacherous in winter than it has always been. There are three motorcycle-accessible campgrounds along the way (Mizpah, Idlewild, and Robbers Roost), as well as several trailheads. The photos below show the route from various points along Berthoud Pass. Click to open larger image; arrow through photos; click on large image to close. |
