Thus to get to Animas Fork from the west side, go over Corkscrew, Hurricane, and California.
Check in with with the visitors centers in Ouray or Silverton for current local conditions and a free map.
The scenery is spectacular in that area. Enjoy!

That’s some good info. Next time I make it back to Colorado I will try some of these.
I did one in my old 3rd gen about 12 years ago. Beautiful area.
