4x4 Jeep Tour, Ouray, CO | Alpine Scenic 4x4 | WOW!

This week we treated ourselves to a cabin in Ouray, Colorado and a private Jeep Tour with Alpine Scenic 4x4 Tours.
Our guide’s name was Sam and we asked that he take us to as many scenic places as he could for our 6 hour tour. We were so excited and had been looking forward to this adventure for a few weeks! Our tour started on Highway 550 through a section of the Million Dollar Highway.
After our first stop at Bear Creek Falls, we turned off the Million Dollar Highway heading to Red Mountain #2 via Corkscrew Pass. We rode through stunning vistas as the dirt road twisted and turned up the pass where we captured the Red Mountains with the drone!
The San Juan Mountains are undoubtedly the most colorful mountains in Colorado. Mineral deposits have created slopes that are red, orange, yellow, purple, silver and brown. These colors combined with the blues skies produce a dazzling kaleidoscope. The Red Mountains consist of 3 mountains #1 (12,592’), #2 (12,219’), and #3 (12,890’).
This area is also rich in mining history. In a period of less than 25 years, more than $30 million of silver, lead, zinc, copper and gold were mined along the Red Mountain Divide.
We visited Hurricane Pass at 12,730’ with awesome views of Poughkeepsie Gulch and Lake Como. The next stop was California Pass at 13,000’!
After many stunning stops and views of alpine lakes our tour concluded at Gray Cooper Gulch with an alpine lake (tarn) with beautiful reflections in the mirror like water.
We highly recommend this tour and our guide Sam.
