I was going to make that run last year but the bike had other ideas. Still on my to-do list. Did you climb up to the marker?

Did that once in the car. Me & the dog couldn't breath. Wife and kid ran around taking pictures while me and the dog leaned against the car panting. Can't honestly say I enjoyed it much.

Did it a few years back and the rangers came and warned us to start down and as we started down it started sleeting and freezing rain.

Was there at the end of May to ride up it for the 3rd or 4th time.

Road closed due to snow this time.

One of three closed roads we hit in Colorado and Utah this time.

Great place.
