    Question Scenic mc route around Vail and to COS

    Looking for interesting routes around Vail and to/from Springs.
    Is Hoosier pass the only good route?

    I prefer 24 from Leadville to Minturn over Hoosier Pass.
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    You can do Hoosier, then back over Freemont, and then over Tenessee passes.

    Thank you for the information. The link mentioned that this route may have road closures. I assume that is because of the pro cycling challenge and not because of road conditions.
