At 11,938 feet, Weston Pass is the high point on the mountain road connecting the towns of Fairplay and Leadville. The road really isn't too rough until the final mile or so on both sides. There is plenty of parking along the road and from different trailheads to make a run up to the pass as far as you want it to be. Don't forget to visit the alpine pond below Weston Peak just a short distance off the main road.
