You will need good ground clearance. You won't be traveling fast - 3 to 8 miles per hour once you head up the pass,
and you'll spend a lot of time in low gears.. Back in the 1870's when Leadville was booming, the shortest way to get
there was to cross over Mosquito Pass. Many people Died doing this. In those days, looking for Gold and Silver drove
a lot of people to take risks that were very extreme. Because of the altitude, its possible to get snow any time of year and
Mosquito Pass is often only open late July thru Early September.
