Telluride, CO
Last Dollar Road
Last Dollar Road is a high-mountain dirt road connecting Telluride to Ridgway via Dallas Divide, passing through vast aspen groves with views of the Wilson Range and Mount Sneffels Wilderness. In autumn, the road is surrounded by dense golden aspens that create some of the most photographed fall color scenes in Colorado. Split-rail fences and old ranch meadows add foreground interest.
