Recently explored in the Southwestern end of the colorful Colorado Rockies and San Juan's. Crossed at least 23 passes, most have names, some don't. Here they are in somewhat order I traveled:

That was great. Right to the point, Jeep and pass sign!

I can't wait to visit Colorado again, hopefully in 2015.

Cool photos! Looks like you got all your punches on the San Juan pass Bingo card!

Incidentally, which RTT model is that?

Best to plan and then be flexable

Do you have a map of your route?


For the Silverton area I found a very useful tool the Latitude 40 maps for Silverton at:

http://www.latitude40maps.com/telluride-silverton-ouray-trails/

I tried to plan the passes with looping over one and then back over another. There were still plenty I missed!

I found a few more less significant passes on the camera on my phone.

Nice Fred. CO is a pretty place. Looks like it hit it pretty hard! Way to cover so ground.
