Surrounded by stunning scenery only visible at altitudes that rarely drop below 9,000 feet and climb up to 12,095 feet, Independence Pass epitomizes the scenic beauty underlying the rich natural resources of the west. Travel along Highway 82 between Twin Lakes and Aspen and begin to understand how this rugged area, so breathtaking and serene, was the livelihood for many miners seeking their fortune. The route can be traveled between Memorial Day and early November, but is best seen during fall foliage season as vibrant reds and ambers set the mountainsides on fire with color. Please be prepared for high altitude climate and bring extra clothes, coats, sunscreen and water. The weather can change in a matter of moments.


This tour begins in the town of small mountain town of Dowd, and it weaves across the beautiful, rugged stretch of land that graces Colorado.
