Owl Creek Pass

Owl Creek Pass

Photo by Roger Gillette

Mention the state of Colorado and one of the first thoughts is of the Rocky Mountains. Majestic mountains provide a spectacular backdrop for extraordinary scenic views. This view features Owl Creek Pass and fall's glowing colors. This high mountain pass cuts through the San Juan Mountain Range, bordering on the edge of the Big Blue Wilderness Area. The stand of aspens are enhanced by the crisp blue sky and bold mountain peaks. It seems unlikely to outdo this unforgettable sight, but a trip on a four-wheel-drive trail can add an additional element of adventure. Off road trips can be topped off with wonderful moments of solitude among these special mountains.
