Overview
The vastness of the San Juan range can be hard to fathom when travelling by car, foot or skis because in winter much of the terrain is all but impassable. That’s unless you’re travelling by snowmobile. The vehicles are the vehicles of choice when exploring the expansive mountain plateaus surrounding Telluride. And who doesn’t like revving up the engine and blowing through neck-deep champagne powder?
Where to go Snowmobiling
Lizard Head Pass
The Lizard Head area receives more snow than neighboring plateaus and is made up of rolling hills, steep ridgelines and open glades. Sound inviting? This is the most popular snowmobile playground in the area for good reason. Parking is found at the summit of the pass south of Telluride on Highway 145.
