This is a drive with amazing scenery....BUT, if you don't have AWD or 4WD with higher than average ground clearance AND if you are not knowledgeable or comfortable on narrow, rough, dirt roads with sharp curves, dips and serious drop offs then please do not attempt. Take the road/drive up to the town of Gothic and maybe a bit beyond... More

Views were amazing. Warning...you really must have 4wd to get up the road safely. We drove our rental compact about a mile short of the top of the road , hiked the road and then hiked the schofield trail. Took about 4 hours to top and return. We loved it.

You need to be an experienced off-road enthusiast for this one.....there are a few dangerous spots but this is by far the BEST 4WD trail ever! From the beautiful waterfall, to stopping at the Crystal Mill, and then riding into Marble, make it an unforgettable experience.

There is one part that I found scary - road carved into the steep mountainside, no guard rails, and no room for 2 cars. We ran... More

We have been going to Crested Butte ans Gunnison for years and decided to take the pass to Gunnison. This road had awesome views, beware that the road is like a washboard for about 2 miles but it is well worth the drive.

In summer, it can be very crowded, so take your patience pill. Mountain bikes, motor bikes and hikers. If you have the chance to explore the hiking trails here, you won't be disappointed. Wildflowers are amazing, weather is great, trails are well marked.

Drive up Slate River past the tiny town of Pittsburgh and then drive up some hair raising switchbacks to Paradise Divide. Hike Yule pass - it's an old mining road so it's relatively level except for a few spots where the trails been washed out. Then drop into Elko park and turn right onto Schofield road and go over Schofield... More

Indeed, there is so much to say about Colorado, but when it comes to the Schofield road between Marble And Crested Butte words cannot describe the beauty. You are so taken in by it you lose all sense...well common sense anyway. It all stared out as a fishing trip at Blue Mesa outside of Gunnison. A beautiful place, one of... More
