This spot is located along County Road 8 (Owl Creek Pass Road), an unpaved road that forks east directly off US Highway 550 just north of Ridgway. The viewpoint sits in an open area of ranches and fields, offering a dramatic, unobstructed view of the rugged San Juan Mountains ahead. It serves as a scenic stop on the way up toward Owl Creek Pass and the iconic Chimney Rock and Courthouse Mountain formations. the photos were taken in early November 2025.
