About this campground

This facility consists of a large parking lot and trailhead signing right at the top of Wolf Creek Pass off US Highway 160.  It serves as an approach to the Continental Divide Trail in summer and as a winter approach to sledding and cross country skiing on the pass.  It makes a great stopping place to visit the top of the divide and to view the surrounding San Juan Mountains.
