Last Dollar Road - October 2013

Ranch along Last Dollar Road

Great fall colors

View from Last Dollar Road

Overview:  This scenic ranchland and forest back road  is an fun alternative to the paved hwy between Telluride and Ridgway.  Great fall colors and stunning mountain views.  Do not take your family SUV on this road if you want it not to rattle afterwards.  There are many very large homes which seemed to be inaccessible in the winter on this route.  It's good to be the King.
Rating:  Easy.  Rutted dirt road suitable for high-clearance vehicles.
Stats:  Length:  21 miles   Time:  2 hours   Highpoint:  10,600 feet
