Stelvio Pass: Here are images of my ride, with my brother Dan, up famed the well-traveled pass, in the Italian Alps, on June 30th, 2014. The top of the pass is over 9,000 feet, and it's got the second highest paved road in Europe.

It's also one of the most famous roads among cyclist aficionados, for it's 6,000 feet of climbing over just 15 miles, for it's 48 switchbacks on the upper portion of the road, and for it's awesomely spectacular scenery.

The Route Down Stelvio Pass
My brother Dan and I had spent a good portion of our days biking up this road that leads to the top of Stelvio Pass, on the Italian–Swiss border. It's considered one of premier roads in the world for cyclists, motorcyclists and people who like to drive their cars up and down 48 hairpin curves. This is the view of upper portion of the road and we were about to begin our descent.
