Wolf Creek Pass

Traveling from one extreme to the other, I left the Chaco Culture (see Day1 and Day 2) in the morning, crossed into Colorado, and over the Wolf Creek Pass (on Highway 160 just north of Pagosa Springs, Colorado) by afternoon. Here are a few photos:

While these photos are from the summit, I passed the park entrance as I headed further North on Highway 160 and it appeared the ski lifts were still in operation.

A word of caution to fellow bikers, there is a snow shed just past the summit on the Northern side of Wolf Creek Pass. It was built to allow snow melt to run over the shed instead of the highway. The only problem is that water still gets inside the shed where there is no sun. The shed comes up quickly and with very little warning so be careful because if you start to slip on ice you will be sliding into oncoming traffic due to the way the road bends inside the shed.
