A few pics and a vid of this 24 mile Colorado Scenic Byway. The north side was newly and divinely paved last autumn. The south side is a mix of new pavement, broken chip/seal, and 3.5 miles of dirt. A perfect Multistrada ride, and an up/down of the north side only is a perfect anything ride.
Next time you're in the vicinity, check it out, including the Silver Dale parking area where one can take a walking tour through an old ghost town. It's also a sweet connector between two major routes into the Rockies. Here's the map link...

There are Alps like parallels to this twisting, climbing road...
Here's one of the signs at the Silver Dale parking area...
Here's a clip from the vid as the 11,600ft pass summit is attained...
And if interest...
