Wolf Creek Pass summit

Wolf Creek Pass summit, Colorado


There's a reason this place has snowpack everywhere. It's june and it's 40*. Elev is 10,863'... and that's the gap / pass to get through this part of the southern Rocky Mountains.


This was a major route west known as the Continental Divide trail. This is the main way to through the Rocky mountains get to Southwest Colorado. ... otherwise you have to go way north up to Telluride,... or back east to the Raton Pass (the Santa Fe trail ).
