Lake City CO from the east?
We are looking at going to Lake City next summer to do some dual sport motorcycle riding. Coming from the east on I70. Is it an easier pull to drop south on 149 from Hwy. 50 just west of Gunnison or...

Slumgullion Pass is one of the steeper ones in CO, with grades of 9% on both sides. The biggest obstacle with the north approach is going over Monarch Pass. From I-70, I'd take US 24 west from Limon. From CO Springs, you can continue to Poncha Springs and head west on US 50 from there, or to avoid Ute Pass and Trout Creek Pass and head south from CO Springs on CO 115 to US 50 at Penrose and west from there. See what others here might post on these two options.
