Description
National Forest
Road Closed until May 10th
This dirt road starts at Vail Pass and ends at the town of Redcliff. It can be traveled in either direction, but for biking it is much easier starting at Vail Pass. This dirt road is passable by all but the lowest passenger cars and is relatively easy for mountain bikers. It offers views of Mount of the Holy Cross in the Sawatch Range, access to the Shrine Mountain Trail, and access to the short, accessible trail to "Julia's Deck."
Location
Shrine Pass Road Dispersed Camping is located in Colorado
Directions
Travel east from Vail on I-70 to Exit 190 for Vail Pass. Exit here and park at the rest area if unloading a bike. Otherwise turn right, heading west, onto the Shrine Pass dirt road (FSR 712).
