5 Scenic Falls Drives in Western Colorado
That are appropriate for *MOST* vehicles
🍂 Planning a trip to Western Colorado for the color change? Sharing SIX of my favorite drives, in no particular order, to see the best of what the West Slope has to offer. All are 2wd accessible, however Last Dollar Road is best suited for a 4x4, and can be treacherous if there’s been recent rain. Last Dollar Road CAN be really rough and would not recommend taking a rental.

1️⃣ Red Mountain Pass
2️⃣ Owl Creek Pass
3️⃣ Last Dollar Road (4x4 preferred)
