Just a bit west of Crown Point is Cameron Pass and to the south is Rocky Mountain National Park. The Mummy Range is clearly visible form parts of the road. Crown Point Road is a wide dirt road, it steadily climbs in elevation reaching approximately 10,500 feet at the end.

Glad to see you're still posting. I'm hooked on your adventures & photography. It's also got the wife wanting to get another motorcycle & tour after a 25 year break!
Steve,
I'm still posting, although it seems I'm continuously behind.
Awesome! That is great to hear about your wife wanting to tour. I wish you many fun motorcycle trips!

I strayed across this whilst looking at Silver City info. I drove up nad down the Crown Point Rd. 90-120 times a year for 5 years. Hiked that territory to death and loved every minute. Loved Fort Collins too. Stuck back in Bloomington IN for now, but will be in Silver City soon !
