Independence Pass, part of Colorado State Highway 82, passes over the Continental Divide between Leadville and Aspen, Colorado. The summit at the Continental Divide is 12,095 feet above sea level. It is about 32 miles long and takes anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour-and-a-half with stops along the way to enjoy the scenic views. It winds around stunning groves of aspen as the Roaring Fork River rushes nearby. The road is steep, narrow, and twisty with only a few guardrails.
