Stichill, as part of this loop, I rode CO 141 from Whitewater to Naturita, via Gateway and the Dolores River canyon (one of my all time favorite routes in Colorado). I believe the Cheese Weasels rode it on their last trip out here. Anyway, I didn’t realize that several sections had recently been resurfaced. I think it’s even more fabulous now.
I also rode CO 306 over 12,126’ Cottonwood Pass, from Buena Vista to Taylor Park. The west portion of the pass was an unmaintained graded road until two years ago. It’s now paved and perfect. What a wonderful roller coaster of a road, with highly distracting views! It’s on my short list of must-ride routes!
