早上逛了Crested Butte小鎮及走了一段Woods Walk Trail後便沿著County Road 12西行，County Road 12也就是有名的Kebler Pass Road，我們這趟行程的主要目的就是走這條高山公路欣賞那滿山遍野耀眼奪目的白楊木金黃葉子；Kebler Pass是從Crested Butte市區Whiterock Avenue西行，到街尾過Coal Creek後即進入Kebler Pass(County Road 12)一路上山，行約30哩後接CO-133，CO-133公路南通Delta，北達Carbondale，到Carbondale後往南可到Aspen，往北則到Glenwood Springs接I-70州際公路。
Kebler Pass(County Road 12)東起小鎮Crested Butte，西迄CO-133公路，全長約30哩，最高點在里程牌24 mile左右，約海拔10,007呎(3,050公尺)，此高山公路也是一般遊客從Crested Butte通達Carbondale、Paonia、Delta 或Montrose的一條高山公路。
Kebler Pass道路被West Elk Mountains和Ruby Range的高山環繞著，道路兩旁高聳的白楊木(Aspen)被認為是地球上最大的白楊木林區，所以本區是世界上觀賞白楊木葉子在秋天轉為金黃最佳景點之一，毎年九月中下旬是賞葉的尖峰期。
Kebler Pass雖然有一大段路況是未鋪設的石子路面，但路況良好，夏天可通行任何車輛，但其中一個岔路通往Ohio Pass則較為難走，非高底盤四傳車輛無法通行；Lake Irwin和Lost Lake是Kebler Pass旁可順遊的兩個景點，Lake Irwin單程約2哩，Lost Lake單程約2.5哩，可惜時間太緊促我們沒能順道一遊。
Kebler Pass在冬天因積雪而封閉，但取而代之的是普受歡迎雪上摩托車(Snowmobiling)，大約感恩節前後該項活動極為熱絡。

Lake Irwin岔路約在里程24.7 mile，岔路進去單程約2 mile左右。
Lost Lake岔路約在里程15 mile，岔路進去單程約2.5 mile左右。
