English: Stony Pass road. The scenery is nothing short of spectacular along this old wagon road over Stony Pass (12,588 feet), at the edge of Weminuche Wilderness. It fell into disuse after 1882, when the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad linked Durango and Silverton. On the east side, it traverses drainages that form the headwaters of the Rio Grande River, which you can ford on the Beartown Road. You’ll see many old mining relics. Wildflowers abound early- to mid-summer.
