A solo bikepacking trip of the Extended Alpine Loop in Colorado. ~ 117 mi (190 km) and 17,700 feet (5395 m) in elevation gain. Cinammon Pass, Engineer Pass, Imogene Pass, and Ophir Pass.
Hard to say, as I did Cinnamon Pass first and then Engineer Pass. But if I had to wager, I would say Cinnamon. Engineer may have been longer but it seemed more gradual. Cinnamon had some seriously steep sections that were really tough with a loaded bike.
@@pupfish12 Thanks for the reply! Apart of climbing difficulty, how about general pass-ability, since I'll be taking a gravel bike instead of a proper mountain bike?
