West of Crested Butte, east of the Paonia Dam and Reservoir, and south of the Redstone/Marble area of Colorado is Kebler Pass. Numerous trails (e.g. Three Lakes, Beckwith Pass, Dark Canyon, Ruby Anthracite) have their trailheads on this dirt road that is closed in winter due to the high elevation of the pass.
East and West Beckwith Mountains (seen above) dominate the landscape for much of the road west of Kebler pass. The large aspen groves make the area very popular in autumn, with cars stopped every few hundred yards to photograph the incredible colors.
