It was fun to stop at the summit of Wolf Creek Pass. We stopped in early April 2024. There was still so much snow piled up against the signs. There was no snow on the road, but the snow that had been piled up on the side of the road hadn't melted yet. It was about 42⁰ up there around 3pm. We didn't stay long. There wasn't much to do up there with so much snow, but it was fun to take a photo of the sign. At 10,856, this is probably the highest elevation I've ever been at and still had my feet on the earth. The scenery through the pass was very beautiful, very Colorado. I was driving, so I couldn't look as much as I wanted to. What I did see was absolutely lovely. Majestic nature!

It was an AMAZING & BEAUTIFUL drive. We drove through on our way to Pagosa Springs, clear skies and in the evening & we drove through leaving Pagosa Springs for the first snow of the year. I must say I was very worried about the snow as we was driving a rental van NOT 4X4!!!! We viewed this Pass our entire stay in Pagosa Springs. Most of the time it was a white out with snow they was getting at the higher elevations!

What a beautiful view! This is one of the most beautiful mountain passes in the area, specially in fall season. Look for the parking close by, enjoy the view and try to walk to different viewpoints from the parking lot to get different views. It is a high mountain pass at 10, 856' so it can get really windy and weather can be unpredictable, so dress/plan accordingly. Definitely recommended when you're in the area.

We've driven through twice once at the beginning of a blizzard and again on a beautiful sunny winter day. We recommend winter traveling with gear. But we love this area and it's quite beautiful. There are several areas for trucks to chain up, and a few run away ramps. There are a few places in the area designated as scenic views or for people to pull off and hit the trail. Please only use designated areas

We went up for a nice drive and to let the kids sled and play in the snow. The roads were clear of any ice or snow, the parking area for sledding was mostly clear. Our only recommendations would be to add a trash barrel so people have somewhere else to throw their garbage instead of the ground. This is a great place to bring the family up to play.
