Colorado routes
All,
I didn't see any Colorado routes here, so I thought I'd start a thread to see who has suggestions. I'm a suburban Denverite, and go to Grand Lake quite often. So, most of my list centers here. I remember great roads from years ago in the western part of the state, but not enough to name them.
The start of my list:
1) Berthoud Pass. US 40 between Empire and Winter Park.
2) Grand County. US 40 between Granby and Kremmling.
3) Denver foothills. I just drove this yesterday (my Sunday drive.) Exit C-470 south at Wadsworth. Take the first light right on Deer Creek Canyon Rd. Merge on to Turkey Creek Rd up to US 285. Turn right on US 285, but quickly merge across to take the next left on Parmalee Gulch Rd. Continue to CO74 at Kittredge. Turn right to run CO74 back to Morrison and either US285 or CO470. (Driver's note: this is not a high-speed run. It's partially residential, and on Sunday there's lots of car, motorcycle and bicycle traffic. However, there are tons of great turns and it's a good place to get a feel for the Cayman's handling without hanging on the bleeding edge. I'm only 600 miles in--say a prayer for 2000--and I really enjoyed just concentrating on car position/line in the road.)
Who has got others?
