Easily reachable with dual sport big bike. North of Gunnison, take paved CR-730 to CR-818.
South of the pass is a nice very steep hillside. Greg Cocks had to try it on his 1200 with street
tires. He got to within 20 feet of the top before running out of traction. Trying to get down backwards
he dropped his bike, but did an exemplary job of how recover a big bike on a steep hill laying in the
wrong direction. His four friends watched it all from the bottom of the hill with many running comments.
It was way too far to walk to help him and it was a LOT more fun to watch it all.
