THE ALPINE LOOP

Alpine Loop is a series of roads totaling 63 miles located in the San Juan Mountains of Southwestern Colorado. The loop is the most scenic way to see the San Juan Mountains. The road climbs up two 12,000-foot passes (Engineer Pass and Cinnamon Pass) and is recommended for high clearance four wheel drive.

Explore the remote, rugged heart of the San Juan Mountains while leaving the pavement and people behind.


BEST TIME TO GO

This route is usually open from late May to late October, but this is entirely dictated by weather conditions. Early snow or a late melt can cause access dates to vary. Optimum times for travel are between late June and early September when the weather is warm.
