Lizard Head Pass
a 10,200-ft pass with classic San Juan views
Stylized illustration, not a photo — the real place looks different (and that’s half the fun).
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.
Nearby route stops
