Ophir Pass 4WD Trail - Silverton, Colorado
Показать описание
For the full trail guide please visit:
Ophir Pass is often noted as possibly the easiest of the well-known 4x4 passes in the area. The off-road trail takes you along the San Juan Range towards Telluride and ends up in the town of Ophir. This old mining town, started in 1881, peaked at about 500 before the mining ended and now has a bustling population of roughly 180 people. These lucky folks sit in a bowl surrounded by beautiful 13,000 ft peaks all around.
You actually travel through two forests here and at waypoint 6 the trail designation number changes from 679 to 630 as you move over the pass and move from the San Juan Forest to the Uncompahgre National Forest. While some of the shelf roads may test your fortitude, the views off this iconic trail in the San Juan’s is well worth an afternoon.
For Jeep owners, there’s a special note here. Jeep has designated some trails as Badge of Honor trails and this is one of the few in Colorado. Its fame means that Jeep will recognize if you ran it and provide you with a badge top put on your rig showing you completed the trail.
