Wolf Creek Pass
Elevation: 10,856 feet
Location: Traversed by US Highway 160 between South Fork and Pagosa Springs, CO
Why its dangerous: Well, there you have it. If you thought the other mountain passes and roads looked bad,
the Wolf Creek Pass is actually the worst according to experts who rated it based on snow, switchbacks, steepness, traffic, elevation,
distance from help and frequency of accidents in the Durango Herald.
With seven percent grades, switchbacks and zero visibility on most days, the Wolf Creek Pass is a warning for truckers who are told to beware the wolf.

You really can't find a bad road in the mountains! I have ridden all of the talked about roads at least 3 times! I love having all of this great riding in my own backyard! Speaking of which, I need to get in a long weekend!

Roger that! I think day 4 is a northern loop, Gunnison, Hotchkiss Aspen, Poncha Springs, Sargents and back. Day 5 is the Southern, Powderhorn, South Fork, etc..
Will be heading to Raton, NM at the end of that day.
