Ophir Pass is a popular day loop connecting Silverton and Telluride through stunning San Juan scenery. Two-way traffic means you'll encounter other vehicles — passing turnouts matter. At 11,789 feet the rocky gravel road is well-suited to most capable 4WD rigs. Run it from the Silverton side for the best views on the way up, or pair it with Imogene and Black Bear for a classic multi-pass day.
