Скачать или смотреть Taking Ophir Pass to Cross the San Juan Mountains

Ophir Pass is a moderate offroad trail between the west side of the San Juan Mountains and the scenic Million Dollar Highway. Due to the rugged terrain it's not much faster than driving around the omuntain but it's certainly a scenic drive you can't experience from pavement.

All of these mountain mining roads are narrow and clinging to the side of the mountain or cliff. It's not your typical dirt road, but it's also not the most techinical offroading in the area. If you're careful, slow, and have cofidence in your vehicle it's very doable although will be very exciting if you're new to it. You do need 4WD, and you'll need offroad clearance like a truck or truck based SUV. Also practice putting your vehicle in the lowest gear ratio possible for slowly rolling down the steep trails. There is already wreckage on the hillside from vehicles that weren't careful or prepared.
