Fremont Pass

Colorado 91 heads south from I-70 at Copper Mountain and crosses Fremont Pass on its way to Leadville. Just before reaching Leadville it merges with US 24, coming up over Tennessee Pass from Minturn, just west of Vail.

One not so scenic feature of this ride, but awesome in its scope, is the view you get of the Climax molybdenum mine, where an entire mountain full of molybdenum is being torn down and an entire valley is being filled with the rubble.
