29 possible runs, including the two above, although a few are contiguous. They are all fun.

Standard Atlas only shows 22 passes not including summits. Please submit the locations and we will include them. I have been over Grand Mesa several times and did not know there was a pass over 10,000. Don't recall ever seeing a sign and it doesn't show on the map.

Need the location of Iceburg, Cottonwood, Victor.

Thanks.

Bill

I have never seen a sign on Grand Mesa either. SJ Ron

Iceberg is on Trail Ridge road (RMNP) west of Estes Park. Victor is near the town of Victor in the Victor / Cripple Creek area (town of mines). Cottonwood is west of Buena Vista near Tincup (Taylor Reservoir).

We did Cottonwood last year. FYI it s an up and back ride - unless you want to ride a gravel road for a long ways. Regardless, it's very nice and Buena Vista is a very nice layover for a meal.

First time we did this run we did it in couple fewer days and so we pushed it pretty hard. It snowed up on Mt Evans and the FS closed the road as I recall. Looking forward to renewing old friendships and making new ones. I sure hope Arleen lets Bill lead the butt-dart tournament.

Got to keep Paul and Rita out of the game. They were the champs last time.
