This section of the popular Lefthand Canyon is a long, but scenic climb with increasingly good views of the often-snowcapped Indian Peaks the closer you get to Ward. Ward is a tiny mountain town just off the Peak to Peak highway with a cyclist-friendly general store. This section is also super, super fun to fly down, but be aware deer in the road and cars.
