Lizard Head Pass is one of the places Roamward flags on the San Juan Skyway because it gives the drive its texture: a 10,200-ft pass with classic San Juan views. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.

How it fits the drive

The San Juan Skyway runs Durango → Silverton → Ouray → Telluride loop, CO. A high-country loop through Colorado’s wildest mountains.
