Headed up Mt. Antero, the switchbacks were very very impressive.
Mt. Antero is not a "pass"; but at 14,269' it is the 10th highest peak in CO (Pikes Peak at 14,110 is the 31st highest in CO and at 14,433 Mt Elbert is the highest) and I believe Mt Antero is the highest point in CO you can drive a vehicle.
85% of all mountain peaks that are 14,000' or higher in the United States are in Colorado.
