Mosquito Pass/Georgia Pass
So today, I figured I'd see how far I could go up Mosquito Pass. I went out US Hwy 285 to Fairplay and turned north on Colorado State Highway 9. Just south of Alma, I turned west onto Park County Road 10.(Mosquito Pass Road). After a short distance, it intersects with (and becomes) Park County Road 12. But after I'd gone about a mile or so, the road was flooded, and I didn't really feel like trying to drive across the muddy flooded out section of the road, so I turned back, and this time took the fork to Park County Road 10 (Park Hill Road) and came back to Colorado State Highway 9 in Alma (Park Hill Road).
Turned north on Colorado State Highway 9 towards Hoosier Pass. Just before the summit, I turned left onto Park County Road 4, and went down to Montgomery Reservoir. I followed the road around to the west end of Montgomery Reservoir, where the road ends. Just above this is the Magnolia Mill, which I didn't notice until I looked at the satellite photos just now. So, I'll have to go back and see if I can get some photos of the Magnolia Mill.
Then, I rode back to Colorado State Highway 9 and went north over the continental divide at Hoosier Pass. Then, north on Colorado State Highway 9 through Breckenridge to Tiger Road. to the South Fork of the Swan River. Tried to make it up to Georgia Pass, but the road got too steep and rocky for me to proceed alone. Turned around and came back home via I-70.
