loveland pass

The peak at Loveland Pass is spectacular. I drove up on a sunny day and the scenery is amazing. Pull offs for photo ops are amazing.

The view was gorgeous!! The air was very thin, but it was worth the view! The mountain peaks were capped and skiers were trying out the slopes.

Wonderful view and photo opportunity of the continental Divide. Be careful though if there is any weather, narrow winding roads. But on a clear day I would suggest to take this route.

Having lived in the area, I loved riding my bike up Loveland Pass. It is also a very nice scenic route. It will take more time than going through the tunnel, but the views are worth it. Some locals ski the pass at night and hitch hike back up the mountain during full moons.

The Continental Divide is worth the short drive from Denver. The road can be scary, but if the weather is clear, it's very passable.

We took this headed back to Denver instead of 70. The views are awesome and makes for some great pics. You ride by Arapohoe Basin Ski area and at the top is the Continental Divide at 11,990 feet. It is amazing to see how the water has cut through the canyons for thousands of years. We even saw a few Elk and a cow Moose 20 feet from the road.

Had a great time there, the staff is amazing. My son left his snow board in one of the racks after a day of boarding, and I did not realize it until we got to the airport. They tracked it down, and then shipped it back to me. Went way out of their way to make us happy.Great time.

You feel like you are on top of the world at this destination. My husband and I didn't want to leave. The beauty of the mountains and streams are unparalleled. We spent most of the day there exploring and taking pictures. The drive there on 70 is spectacular. So many picture opportunities. Every picture we took looked like an actual postcard. The snow capped mountains appear as a painting would. Don't miss this natural wonder.

We did this hike to the top during January 2013. Absolutely amazing experience. We were able to get to the top right as the sun started to set and it will be something that I will never forget. Not only is the view amazing, but all the work that it takes to get there is something that I will forever cherish.

Excellent ride on the motorcycle. We totally recommend Loveland Pass if you are in the area and the weather is good.

Better that speeding by on I-70 through the Eisenhower Tunnel! My family used to take this route when I was single digits old, so I wanted my kids to experience this. Driving up the switchbacks without a guard rail, and seeing the sweeping above tree line views.

Fantastic place! Just 10 minutes off the highway to do a short hike to the top, and oh what a breath taking view!!! But... this is not in Loveland, CO!! It is off I70, just west of I40 / Georgetown.

Loveland pass is a great way to ditch the I70 highway scene and jump into some Colorado back country but it's not too far off the beaten path. Good hiking, sight seeing, and cool drive up the switchback road. May be a little nerve racking for some but it's pretty cool once you get up top. Bring a jacket left Denver it was 85 and sunny got to the pass 56 and cloudy.

This is a spectacular "jumping off" point to hike up to the "Continental Divide." There is plenty of parking. The hike is challenging but well worth the effort when you reach the zenith. The views from the latter simply take one's breath away. In addition, if you exit I 70 for "Loveland" you will be on US 6. The drive is stunning and scary. If you wish to avoid the boredom of driving on I 70 to Frisco/Breck, take US 6 through Ararpahoe and Keystone to Breck.

If you are driving to Breckenridge or Keystone, taking the Loveland Pass is worth the extra 16 or so miles added to the trip. Look for signs for the Loveland pass on 70 and take the exit when directed. The drive is on a curvy road, with no guardrails, but the views are absolutely amazing. There are a few spots to pull over and get out of the car to appreciate the views. At the highest elevation, there is a parking area and trails where people can hike around the continental divide. Definitely worth the extra drive time. We took it each way because the views were so great.
