Climbing Grand Mesa from Cedaredge is a monumental ascent onto the world's largest flat-topped mountain. Prepare for a very long 19 mile climb averaging a moderate 4.7% over 4,500ft to reach elevations above 10,800ft. As you climb you'll see the changing scenery from orchards to alpine forests and lakes. The key challenges are the significant altitude and highly variable mountain weather. Crucially the current road status before attempting this climb as the upper section of the CO-65 over Grand Mesa is SEASONALLY CLOSED in mid-April.
