Nice video! Ophir Pass scared the hell out of my wife. There was a lot of rock on the road that day and I think the feeling of all 4 wheels slipping alternatively and repetitively was what got to her (we were going the opposite direction). But I agree with you guys, not a difficult trail. Yep, "Quakies" are Aspens. They get that name because the slightest breeze moves the leaves and the whole tree seems to quake. You owe it to yourself to do the Last Dollar Road in late September or early October. The Fall colors are magnificent! Combine that with the magnificent view of the landscape and I think it's the closest thing to Paradise! Thanks for the video!
I think both trails combined took about a half day. Ophir is one of the shorter trails in the area, and Last Dollar Road isn't too challenging. I think it was about 2 1/2 hours on Ophir and 2 hours on Last Dollar Road. We headed to Silverton afterward and still had plenty of time to go to Animas Forks with plenty of daylight left. Hope that helps.

Love this video!
Thank you!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. We hope to be back that way this fall.
Thank you! We definitely want to return. Hope you have a great trip!
If you recall how long did it take you to do this loop ?

“Not sure if it was an out and back or…”
“No we’re goin Ophir!”
