Maybe I can add that to my adventure this summer. I camp down the mtn near Carbondale. Maybe I will try to do a loop from there, up through Marble, over Schofield Pass to Crested Butte and back over Independence Pass to Carbondale. I will have to research that and see how difficult that road is. I have a pretty high clearance Jeep 4wd so I am not terribly concerned about the road (too much).
