Get ready for a long, high-altitude journey as you climb Highway 103 southwards from Idaho Springs ascending towards Juniper Pass and the gateway to the Mount Blue Sky scenic byway. You'll follow scenic Chicago Creek up its canyon through beautiful pine and spruce forests for much of the approximately 16-mile route, gaining around 3,600ft towards the very high 11,140 ft pass. The climb is a steady gradient around 4.3%, though sections likely steepen towards 6-8% higher up.
