Breakneck Pass

Located just south of Fairplay, Breakneck Pass is one of several hidden gems among Colorado four-wheel drive roads along the U.S. Highway 285 corridor. Breakneck Pass features easy to moderate climbs and descents and dense Pine and Aspen forests. The stretch that parallels Sheep Creek provides amazing views in all directions. This area of South Park is remote and far less traveled than other passes, making it a desirable destination for weekend overland exploration. Breakneck Pass closes seasonally, December 31st through June 15th.
