Because this is an old train bed road, it has a maximum of 4% grade, making it an easy walking path. The views of the valley and mountains are magnificent. Lots of aspen trees line the road and you can walk for miles if you choose.

I had visited the pass several times before in the winter to hike and snowshoe and made the effort to do it again. I made a wrong veer near the trailhead, attempted to turn around, and got stuck in a snowbank in my Nissan Versa with "city tires." I spun the front wheel drive tires until they burned through the...

Boreas Pass Road is a summer road that is exceptional alpine scenery to behold. In winter, you can x-country ski up to the pass as it is closed for car traffic. The fall scenery in September is spectacular!

Boreas Pass road is an excellent paved thoroughfare up the mountain to the actual Pass, a scenic old maintained dirt road which travels over the old railroad bed. This is a great spot to view Fall colors, mountain scenery and wildlife. Great for hiking or driving over the Pass to Como...about 20 miles.

Great in the summer and fall for mountain biking. Avoid weekends cause theres more car traffic.
Bakers tank loop of the Boreas pass road is spectacular and not to technical riding.
Good in the winter for snow shoeing.

This road takes you from Brekenridge over Boreas Pass and down into the middle of South Park (Yes of the "South Park" fame). I have lived and travelled in Colorado my entire life and this is one of the most beautiful fall color drives anyone could possibly take. Not a scary road, but it is dirt. It takes you back...

A drive on a sunny, autumn afternoon over Boreas Pass is one of the most breathtaking ways to spend the day! The narrow, harrowing road does get crazy busy during the weekends, but it's definitely a great photo op!
