I traveled to Colorado in the summer of 2021 as part of a longer motorcycle adventure and my first adventure was an easy ride across Marshall Pass in Colorado. This pass lies between Sargents and Mears Junction, Colorado and is located on the Continental Divide. It could be a good alternative to US Highway 50 between Salida and Gunnison and is generally considered to be passable in any vehicle. This gravel road follows the original Denver & Rio Grande rail route across the pass. Of course, it is closed in winter but in other seasons the easy ride across Marshall Pass Colorado should be on every adventure rider’s bucket list.
