Just did Slumgullion Pass (11,530) and Wolf Creek Pass (10,800) this weekend.
I wonder if we passed each other?

See the thread I just posted..

Independence Pass, 12095 ft. Trying to find the pictures. Its a really slow really twisty road. And at 12095 ft, when we hit the summit we were tired campers.

Just made the run from Durango to Ouray a few weeks ago, man what a ride! Made my beloved Blue Ridge Parkway feel like speed humps...

I've been to the top of Mount Evans, which is 14,000 and change (lucky enough to only live 5 minutes from the highway).

I checked the Mt. Evans website and it looks like the top 5 miles of the road is closed due to snow for the rest of this year.
