Alpine Loop Opens for Summer
The Alpine Loop National Backcountry Byway is open for the season. This 65-mile loop drive starts and ends in Lake City, and will take you well above timberline, over 12,000 ft passes, and past ghost town relics from the mining boom of the late 1800s. Parts of the Alpine Loop are accessible by 2-wheel drive vehicles, but crossing Engineer and Cinnamon Passes requires a four-wheel drive vehicle. You can rent your own jeep or ATV, or take a guided tour right out of Lake City.
