But it sounds like this particular road is not a deal-breaker.
Agreed with your assessment but I have personally not been over that pass. It is not extremely high but does have seasonal closures, usually from Nov - May.
Just wanted to mention if you are in the Crested Butte area and doing more travel, make sure and head up the road by Taylor River as it is pretty beautiful there. It is on the way to Gunnison from Crested Butte, east at Almont. If you do go up into Taylor Park, do not think you are going to drive over Cottonwood Pass as that is closed this year for construction. Should be back open next summer. Google maps is starting to reroute over Cottonwood Pass but I called a local area there yesterday and they said Cottonwood is still closed and likely to remain closed until next summer.
I'm actually headed out to that area in about a week but will not be driving over Kebler Pass.
