Colorado Trail: Molas Pass to Hotel Draw is the epic ride of the San Juans. 20 miles up Hwy 550 over Coal Bank to the top of Molas Pass or just park at Molas Pass. Hang a left on the Colorado Trail at Little Molas Lake just over the pass and ride the tundra past Jura Knob, Cascade Divide Road, across Hermosa Park Road--a full 30 spectacular miles to a left at Hotel Draw on the Scotch Creek Road. Roll down to the Hermosa Creek Road #578. Turn left and follow the road through the Hermosa Park back to Happy Hour at the Sow's Ear. Sound tough? It is very tough. Luckily many variations exist. You can bale at Jura Knob and come out on top of Coal Bank Pass or you can bale at Cascade Divide Road or Hermosa Park Road. Get a map and advice before you go. |
