Route 141 South is so named because it is absolutely one of the best stretches of road in Colorado and must be differentiated against with respect to the upper half of 141 that runs out of Gateway to Grand Junction. 141 S boasts amazing pavement, very little traffic, crazy views and sequences of turns but should be reserved for intermediate riders and up. Shelf roads along the route and technical turns are not for true beginner riders, also remember during the summer it gets hot so stay hydrated (nowhere to stop and get water between Naturita and Gateway).
1. CO 141 S
State Highway 141 (SH 141) is a 162.297 mi (261.192 km) long state highway in far western Colorado, United States. Though nominally oriented north–south, SH 141 winds around a considerable amount due to the rugged terrain and ultimately forms a giant S shape. SH 141's southern terminus is at U.S. Route 491 (US 491) near Dove Creek, and the northern terminus is at Interstate 70 Business (I-70 Bus.) in Grand Junction. SH 141 is the longest three-digit state highway in Colorado.
