Description:
Davos is a short ride with constant elevation gain. The 3.3 mile
route follows FS Road 781 that is rocky and rutted in sections. The
route passes through aspen glens and open meadows with views of
Dowd Junction. The ride ends at a radio tower with views of Mt of
the Holy Cross and Meadow Mountain in the distance. Descend the
same route.
