HWY 50 from Royal Gorge to Grand Junction Co
Am planning a trip from Royal Gorge to Zion National Park. I would like to avoid going up to Denver to catch I70. How is traveling on HWY50 between Royal Gorge and Grand Junction?

Monarch Pass is considered one of the most beautiful passes in Colorado, tops out ~11,300 feet. At the top, there's an aerial tram that goes to the top of Monarch Ridge at ~12,000 feet. Spectacular vistas from up top there, highly recommended for some real Colorado photo ops.
And also the beginning of the Monarch Crest MTB Trail, a classic IMBA Epic 100, 35 miles mountain bike trail ride. Yes, the ride starts at 11,300 feet elevation. It's a real lung burner.
Sorry, couldn't resist :B
