This is a fantastic ride if you like lots of turns. After you take the split onto South Grade Road the climbing gets really interesting all the way to the the top. The grade remains pretty consistent the entire way up. There is a campground at the top (Doane Valley) open May-Nov ($30 a night..gulp). Watch out for crotch rockets - this a popular road for them too. Park at one of the nearby giant Indian casinos. 2 bottles of water is plenty for moderate temps
