The main road is a well maintained, gravel road. This main road is rated a 1. There are side roads that aren't as maintained and had some mud, these required 4-low, which is the reason for the 3 rating. These were not technical, but there were a few rocks and a few mud puddles that gives it the rating.

Description
This is an easy road that goes through many Aspen Groves in the mountains just outside of Pagosa Springs. We went on October 14 this year, and there were still a lot of color in the leaves but it looked like we were about a week after the peak season for leaves. It was still a pretty drive and we enjoyed it.
Here is the KML and map. I apologize for the poor tracing near the beginning, my GPS didn't record for a bit so there is an ugly straight line. Since this is an out-and-back type road, at least the track is correct in one direction.
