Route Details

The route follows Highway 12, a Colorado Scenic Byway known as the “Highway of Legends”. You’ll start in La Veta at 7,013-foot elevation, climb to the top of Cucharas Pass (9,945 ft), descend to 8,400 feet, and then climb to the second feed station at North Lake (8,600 ft).

The route descends to the beautiful town of Stonewall and on to the lunch stop in Segundo, where the route reverses and returns, climbing along Highway 12.

You’ll encounter the back side of Cuchara Pass, which some have called the “Soul Crusher” at 83 miles into the 102-mile ride. The grade on this beast exceeds 10%. Have no fear, the steepest section lasts only one mile and the grade lessens toward the top. Then, you’ll enjoy the 17-mile descent into La Veta, where a BBQ dinner, live music, and massage tables await.
