How about these:

Wolf Creek Pass on US 160 east of Pagosa Springs, 10,850 feet at a 6.5%
grade. It's still on my to-do list.

That looks nice, do you know the vertical gain?


Independence Pass, Leadville-Twin Lakes to Aspen, 12,095 feet, 32 miles.

I've done that in both directions. The section between Leadville and
Twin Lakes is pretty flat, but the climb between Aspen and Twin
Lakes is great. I prefer and out-and-back from Aspen to Twin Lakes.
Aspen to Brekenridge is a nice all-day ride, too.
