In the middle of September my wife and I went off to Pagosa Springs, Colorado to see our grandson (and his parents) who was nearing his first birthday. My son and I decided to see if we could find some foliage, as it was late this year. We decided to try Ophir Pass, The road to the summit was fine, bit rough here and there but nothing of concern. Downhill from the summit was a different story, the road was mostly broken rock across avalanche fields, so we crept down at 3mph in 4 wheel drive, in a pickup with road tires. Not the most fun we've ever had, and had I known I wouldn't have used the pass.
