Dallas Divide
A mountain pass on the road from Ridgway to Telluride, facing the Sneffels Range, and one of Colorado's most famous autumn viewpoints.
Dallas Divide lies on CO-62 about 16 kilometers west of Ridgway, at an elevation of about 2,730 meters. To the south rises the jagged Sneffels Range, with large stands of aspen and pastureland at its foot. From late September to early October, when the aspens turn gold, the roadside pull-offs and County Road 7 (the Last Dollar Road) fill with photographers. It is about a 40-minute drive from Ouray and is often on the way to Telluride. Admission is free. Take care when parking by the road, and do not enter areas that are private ranchland.
