1) Valid State-Issued Driver's License for operators.
2) Liability Insurance
3) The Alpine Loop cannot be completed through Lake City on unlicensed OHVs. The connection requires travel on CO HWY149, so only licensed dirt bikes and full-size vehicles can complete the loop. There is a shuttle service that can be utilized for a fee.
