[QUOTE="phroenips, post: 927554, member: 19942"] Both of those are routes I was going to suggest to people. Up and over Independence pass, maybe have lunch or something in Aspen, then come back to Salida over Independence pass again, or possibly go up to I-70 a bit to Glenwood Springs, and head east on I-70...don't let this section of Interstate fool you, you'll pass through Glenwood Canyon which is really fun and pretty (it does seem to be a bit more heavily patrolled than other areas though...which is a shame). Before you get to Vail, you can head back south on US-24, and pass through the Camp Hale area, eventually winding up back in Salida. Something along the lines of this: [URL="https://g.co/maps/d7bmc"]https://g.co/maps/d7bmc[/URL] Riding time is around 6 hours on that one, so it might make for a relatively long day ride...all depends on what you're used to, and what you're looking for, etc. Wolf Creek pass is nice too, you can incorporate it with a trip down to the Sand Dunes, although if you make a loop out of it, the west (Alamosa) side to get back to Salida is straight and boring through the San Luis valley, although you're surrounded by beautiful mountains. It can get windy through there too. [/QUOTE]
