The Last Dollar Road, a rugged unpaved four-wheel drive county road, runs generally in a north/south direction between Colorado Highways 62 and 145 in Southwest Colorado.  The south end of the road ends near the notoriously dangerous Telluride airport, at Highway 145.  The north end begins off of Highway 62, better known as the Dallas Divide Highway.

This sweeping view looking due south in the late afternoon from just below the highest point of Last Dollar Road was taken with a Nikon D-850, using a 24-70mm f2.8E ED Nikkor Zoom lens at 62mm focal length.  On frame right is  massive Wilson Peak.  At center is the remnant pinnacle of Lizard Head Pass, part of which collapsed in recent years.  At frame left, some runs of the Telluride Ski Area are barely visible.  At the far left and barely seen behind the foreground ridge are the high peaks leading to Mt. Sneffels, the tallest mountain in the San Juan Range at 14,153 feet.

Aspen foliage shows the full range of intense summer green to brilliant fall yellow…and everything in between, a dramatic example of the pallet of colors southwest Colorado offers in mid-to-late September every fall season.
