We did the CR 12 drive this past summer from Marble to Crested Butte. It might be closed now for the winter, but it was an AWESOME drive. I was in my pickup and my sister and BIL were in a Jetta station wagon and they are able to handle the drive with no problem.
Make sure you do the route as I described. The direct road from Marble to Crested Butte (Schofield Pass) isn't for the faint of heart (or a Jetta station wagon for that matter). There have been multiple deaths on Schofield Pass! Kebler Pass is easy (we've towed our PUP over it) and maintained in the summer by the county.
I went back to Google Maps to confirm that I was giving correct information. It was CR 12
Um, no, CR 12 goes over Kebler Pass, not Schofield Pass. I live an hour from these roads and know of what I speak. The road from Marble to Crested Butte starts out as CR 3 and becomes Forest Service Roads beyond that. I repeat
Do Not Drive the Road Out Of Marble to Crested Butte.
