The south-central part of Colorado has mountains in the west and north,
giving way to prairie to the south and east. Wolf
Creek Pass, one of the truly spectacular passes, is in this area, running
along US 160 from Pagosa Springs to South Fork. Ride the pass east to west if
possible, it's a better view.
Coming over from Lake City on Colorado 149 you cross both Slumgullion and Spring Creek Passes on the way to Creede. Creede has a lot of historical interest, so be sure to stop and spend a little time there.
To the north and east of Alamosa is the Great Sand Dunes National Park. This is a natural attraction well worth the detour. Camping is available at the sand dunes, and the roads are paved, so there's no problem getting in on your motorcycle.
