Corkscrew Gulch & Pass Jeep trail: switchbacks, shelf roads, and beautiful vistas in the San Juans

The Corkscrew Gulch Jeep trail is not a difficult 4x4 road, but there are enough switchbacks, shelf roads, and grand vistas to make this one of most beautiful offroad experiences in Colorado. You'll have a fun drive through a hard pack forest trail, climb a steep mountain side, see the unique Red Mountains, and thrill at the alpine scenery on Corkscrew Pass.
