Always wondered if it less time going over one of the Passes between 285 to hwy 24 in order to get to 82 ?

You won't save any time going over Weston or Mosquito, but they are "interesting".

Now that time is not an issue, What would be a good pass to explore ?
Looking for scenic value and maybe a ghost town or two.
Wouldn't want to do something that gets washed out alot though.

If you try Mosquito, be sure your life (and auto) insurance is paid-up... I did it once....Never again.

Weston can be done in a passenger car with a little clearance. Mosquito is steeper, rougher and can be done in a stock 4x4 with low range for speed control. Here is a good site for conditions on passes. http://www.bushducks.com/ Go to the pass page.
