Independence Pass - 2002

Independence Pass is a notorious pass on the way to Aspen.  Sheer drop-offs, spectacular scenery and an above-timberline overview characterize this route.  Not recommended for the faint-of-heart; flat-landers (and even some Colorado natives) find it a little too harrowing for their tastes.  Drink lots of water at high altitudes to help alleviate high-altitude sickness.
