Ouray has earned the much-deserved reputation of the "Jeeping Capitol of the World". Every fall the world-famous Jeep Jamboree holds a rally here. Four-wheeling enthusiasts come at that time for the breathtaking scenery and fall color, but the roads and the vistas are spectacular year-round. Jeep trails, rated from easy to difficult, traverse a variety of terrain, from extremely high mountain passes and rugged, winding roads to areas where we've been blessed with spectacular, wildflowers throughout the spring and summer.
Ouray Area Roads
Imogene Pass
An old favorite! This spectacular trail takes you to an altitude of 13,200 feet and delivers you into the town of Telluride, passing long-abandoned mine sites along the way . Will take 3-4 hours.
The Alpine Loop
A great fall foliage tour! This all-day trip through Lake City takes you over the historical Alpine Loop past mining sites, ghost towns and through spectacular mountain scenery.
Black Bear Pass
Enjoy the true ruggedness and thrills of a four-wheeling trip in the San Juans! This is a heart-stopping, breathtaking alpine trail to Telluride passing right by the spectacular Bridal Veil Falls.
 Engineer Pass
Truly, a rugged four-wheeling experience! Follow Engineer Pass all the way to Lake City or cut off at Animas Forks and head towards Silverton.
Ophir Pass
One of our easier, but very popular, mountain passes that takes you to the Telluride side of the San Juan Range. This one is spectacular during the fall season.
Last Dollar Road
This is an extremely easy road that traverses picturesque ranches and passes through beautiful aspen forests as you wind your way to Telluride.
Yankee Boy Basin
This easier trail is most popular for its spectacular explosion of wild flowers in the late spring/early summer season and for its waterfalls. It's not often that you go out to Yankee Boy Basin during the summer without seeing photographers set up with their cameras and tripods.
