Get ready for an altitude adjustment. This loop takes you on a ear-popping trip up Bear Creek Canyon and along the highest paved road in North America. If you brought oxygen, get it out now. On the trip down you’ll enjoy a twisty run through the towering peaks lining Clear Creek Canyon.
Warnings: Look for signs “Motorcyclists use Caution” as you begin up bear creek canyon. Hazards include bicyclists, sand rocks and some decreasing radius turns.
