Hit the Ophir Pass and Brown’s Gulch in Southwest Colorado

[DurangoSianne]

Took Sporty over Brown’s Gulch and the East side of Ophir Pass. Both of these are easy and have great scenic views! I don’t care for the west side of Ophir as it’s on a narrow rocky ledge. So we drove to the top from 550, hiked to the lake from the top of the pass, and then headed back to 550 and Silverton for a beer. Not sure how Sporty’s clearance would have handled the west side. Still loving my Bronco Sport. And averaging 24.8mpg so far.

As a film photography snob I must say these photos are divine and well captured. I can almost feel the cool breeze from over here!
