Need to Know

Spring run-off can be intense and cause ruts and rivulets. Beware of hot disc brake rotors if descending.

Description

Rumor has it, this is the steepest county road in the U.S.

Boulder County riders of all variety test their meddle on this epic dirt climb as it provides access to/from the (mouth-)watering hole of Gold Hill.
