サウォッチ山脈のおすすめMTBライド

Hagerman Pass is a high mountain pass in Colorado at about 11,925 ft (3,635 m). The route is rough dirt/rock surface — originally a railroad grade and now a Forest Service Road (FSR 105). It is typically open late May through early-to-mid autumn, depending on snow and conditions. The road starts easy enough but becomes progressively rockier, steeper, narrower, and more technical toward the high point. You might find that some sections are too technical to ride and end up hike-a-bike. Be prepared and know your limits!
