Description
Heading up to Ophir Pass on an old mining (jeep) trail, the shadows sweep by as the clouds swirl at the top. The Ophir Pass trail starts near Ouray (pronounced locally you-RAY), Colorado which is center of many silver and gold mine trails which are now jeep trails. It climbs to 11,000 feet to allow access to the village of Ophir. This trail is a class 2 which means you can get out of the jeep to take a picture without falling off a 10 ft wide, 200 ft ledge.
