Leadville Mountain Roads
Weston Pass Road, public pass reference, Leadville / Fairplay, CO
About this trail
The Leadville area has several historic mountain roads, including Weston Pass and Mosquito Pass. This guide uses Weston Pass as its public map reference, replacing the old downtown visitor-address pin. Weston Pass connects the Leadville and Fairplay areas: the Lake County side calls for four-wheel drive, while the eastern approach is less demanding in suitable conditions. Snow, erosion and weather can make either approach impassable. Stay on the public road and respect private land along the lower approaches. Other Leadville routes have separate vehicle rules, seasonal restrictions and closures, including the Turquoise Lake and Hagerman area; this guide does not authorize travel throughout the whole region. Check current county road conditions and the Forest Service motor-vehicle map before setting out. The three original photographs are historical Leadville-area submissions, not verified photographs of Weston Pass or a report of present conditions.
