    Tips

    Cycling

    The dirt section of Boreas Pass is my favorite. On 6/14/20 the road was gated, so foot and bike "traffic" only. Really nice railroad grade climb to tree line, past the historic Baker's Tank to the "Boss's" hut at the top of the pass. Read all the interpretive signs, cool Colorado railroad history!

    Cycling

    Boreas Pass tops out at 11,481 feet and connects Como to Breckenridge. Boareas Pass was the nation's highest narrow-gauge railroad, running from 1872 to 1938. The pass was then converted to an automobile route in 1952.
