Wolf Creek Pass Overlook

  We finally reached the mountains! US 160 climbs 2,500’ from South Fork Colorado to Wolf Creek Pass then starts an eight mile downhill run with 7% grades. The overlook is about six miles from the summit and provides sweeping views of the valley of the West Fork of the San Juan River and the surrounding mountains. 
  The view for wheelchair visitors is obstructed somewhat by a railing.

   Driving over the pass is fine with any RV-  just downshift and go slow. The overlook is at the bend of a hairpin curve. The parking lot is small with one entrance/exit and not much turning room so I don’t recommend it for long RVs. Pass  37.45028, -106.88915

  1. Great pics! I don't know of any RV that likes the climbs to any high pass! Might as well pour gasoline on the road!

    1. It's a beautiful view! You're right about the gas - we can watch the mileage go down as we climb.lol
