| Top of Rabbit Ears pass - before the descent into Steamboat Springs. |
This was a ride I'd planned last year and then didn't get around to before hunting season started in earnest and the weather got too bad to ride. It took seven hours to ride this route, about 40 miles of it is on gravel. North of Steamboat Lake, route 129 is gravel to within a couple of miles where (as WY 710 - Snake River Spur Road) it intersects WY 70. Also, Fox Creek Rd. from Albany WY to Woods Landing is dirt as well. The entire ride is spectacular, but the ride up and over Battle Pass (elevation 9,955 ft.) on the way to Encampment from Baggs is just about the most perfect winding mountain road for a motorcycle.
