CO 134 is a hidden gem! A fantastic route taken from Tonopas, CO over to (just south on Route 40) Kremmling, CO which runs over Gore Pass. While the pass itself is not much to speak of related to views (just a sign next to the road) the actual ride is a super fun, spirited sequence of all sorts of linked turns. Sweepers, hairpins, decreasing radius and off camber turns put this into the intermediate category although any street equipped bike can handle it. If you are on an Adventure bike there are countless dirt roads to take exploring off of 134, you could spend all day out in this area.
