Historical Boreas Pass Road provides unmatched views of Colorado's rugged Rocky Mountains.

The pass, which sits at an elevation of 3,499 m (11,481 ft), served as an early route for thousands of prospectors during the Colorado Gold Rush, and served as a railway bed from the late 1800s until 1937.

    Impossible to explain the views. This is a must see and do when traveling to Colorado/Breckenridge. I really took well over 600 photos from my trip and each one tells a story. I will return soon  more »

    What a great way to spend a few hours. Starts out on asphalt then gravel. Even has places to go 4 wheel drive trails. Beautiful views. Make time for this!  more »
