This video is of Ophir Pass and back to Ouray down Highway 550. This was one of the trail days during the 2019 Land Rover National Rally sponsored by the Solihull Society Land Rover club based in Denver, Colorado. The Rally this year was in the San Juan mountains on trails around Ouray, Colorado. The region had a historic snowfall during the previous winter leaving many trails still blocked by snow or avalanche debris in mid-July. Ophir Pass is an easy 10 mile trail with scenic mountain views. The highest elevation is 11,789 feet.
We ran Ophir Pass after leaving Ouray and taking the Last Dollar Road to Telluride where we had lunch. After lunch we headed down to Ophir Pass for our return to Ouray. The last part of this video shows Highway 550, The Million Dollar Highway, as we drove from the Ophir trailhead back to Ouray. The road is absolutely amazing.
