Description: Molas Pass is a mountain pass located in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado, USA. It's situated along the Million Dollar Highway (U.S. Route 550) between the towns of Silverton and Durango. Molas Pass is known for its scenic beauty and is a popular destination for travelers seeking breathtaking mountain vistas. The pass offers stunning views of the surrounding alpine landscape, including rugged peaks, lush forests, and high mountain meadows. It's particularly picturesque during the summer when wildflowers are in bloom and in the fall when the aspen trees turn vibrant shades of gold and orange. Molas Pass provides access to various outdoor activities, including hiking, camping, and photography. The high elevation of the pass, which reaches over 10,000 feet (3,048 meters), means that it can experience snowfall even during the summer months, so visitors should be prepared for changing weather conditions.
