Alta Lakes Mountain Biking Trail
|
This four-wheel drive road climbs south from the Telluride area up to the mining ghost town of Alta. The town itself is well-preserved and interesting to see, but even more impressive is the stunning scenery around the Alta Lakes, framed by two majestic peaks of the San Juan mountains.
