Bike to Montezuma Bike to Montezuma – To begin this ride you want to start at Keystone Village where you can find plenty of parking in the large free lot and follow the Snake River to the old mining town, some may consider a ghost town, of Montezuma. The road to the top is about 5.8 miles uphill. The glimpses of high rocky ridgelines delight your senses as you ascend through pine forests. The town was settled in 1860 and named after the famous Aztec conqueror for his hoards of golden treasure. Just upon reaching the town, you will see a wooden sign that reads Montezuma. This town is over 10,000 feet tucked nicely away in the forests secluded from the hustle and bustle of Summit County.
