I rode Independence Pass on my bike one year. My lungs forced me to take it really easy. I saw some elk in the distance over on Elbert. As much as I'd like to go elk hunting one day, there's no way I'd try a DIY hunt. It'd be hell to kill one in the places I have seen them. Love this place!


My hunting partner and I DIY elk hunted outside Leadville for 20+ years. We were very successful. Our last trip was in 2015. Beautiful place. Tough hunting.
