Last Dollar Road

Situated just outside Telluride, Last Dollar Road is a must-drive for anyone visiting this part of Colorado. No other road will give you breathtaking views like this while maintaining a very mellow profile. This area boasts some of the best and most accessible camping spots around. As the trail climbs higher, you will find numerous opportunities to pull off onto small double tracks going into the bush, which all host incredible places to pull in and sleep. Situated between Whipple Mountain and Last Dollar Mountain, the trail gains over 2,500 feet of elevation as it climbs over Last Dollar Pass. Both sides of the pass present enough national forest area that one will not get easily bored exploring Last Dollar. It is, in a word, classic.
