The Alpine Loop is truly a backcountry experience. 🌄 A rugged 4x4 road (only a handful of miles are paved), the Alpine Loop Backcountry Byway is open seasonally to motorists. You can explore miles of #YourPublicLands as it winds through the spectacular scenery of the San Juan Mountains, traversing passes up to 12,800 feet while showcasing old mines, ghost towns, natural wonders, unparalleled views, beautiful wildflowers, and abundant wildlife. Please always #KnowBeforeYouGo and #RecreateRespons
