Owl Creek Pass

Owl Creek Pass (Ridgway, CO)

Owl Creek Pass is mostly an easy gravel road with a few bumpy sections that any stock 4×4 vehicle can handle. There are great views of the area as you cross the Cimarron Ridge and make sure to stop for a photo of Chimney Peak and Courthouse Mountain. This area is also excellent for camping.

I used this trail as an alternate route back to Ouray coming from Grand Junction. The track below starts out near Cimarron and takes you back to US 50 near Ridgway, CO. The section of trail near Cimarron is prone to washouts, and may not be passable.
