At Wolf Creek Pass, the Continental Divide Trail crosses Highway 160. It is a good spot to get on or off the trail or for hitching into South Fork (to the north) or Pagosa Springs (to the south). Be careful when crossing the highway as it is quite busy.

This is one of a few exposed saddles in the area along the CT/CDT with great views, a steep grade, and a short ascent.

This saddle sits right on the Re Grande National Forest and La Gaita Wilderness line, and is where the Colorado Trail/Continental Divide continues south to drop down to San Luis Pass. Enjoy the fantastic views of this well-earned climb!

San Luis Pass is located in a ditch between two steep climbs along the Colorado Trail. San Luis Peak is not visible from here.

Climbing Wolf Creek Pass eastwards on US Highway 160 from the Pagosa Springs side is a long, high-altitude journey to the Continental Divide, taking you deep into Colorado's stunning San Juan Mountains. You'll ascend through beautiful forests to reach the lofty 10,857 ft summit. Averaging a challenging 5-7% with sustained pitches hitting 8% make this a tough finish at very high altitude. Enjoy the expansive mountain views, especially near the Wolf Creek Ski Area.

San Luis Peak towers over the pass. The trail to the east heads along the CDT / section 20 of the Colorado Trail, and the trail west starts section 21 of the CT to Spring Creek Pass. You can also run south along the Willow Creek Trail, which becomes Willow Creek Road as you descend into Creede.

The mountain pass has some nice flat sheltered spots between trees for pitching some tents. The views are exceptionally beautiful. You can get water at nearby Spotted Lake if you walk southbound.
