Molas Pass Overlook — San Juan NF

The Molas Pass summit overlook rises at roughly 10,900 feet in the San Juan National Forest, amid sweeping alpine terrain with 360-degree views of the surrounding peaks — Snowdon, Spencer, and Grand Turk visible on the horizon. The Colorado Trail passes close by, making this a natural waypoint for both through-travelers and those looking to spend a quiet night above treeline. Nights are reliably cold even into summer, and early-season visitors should expect snow in the lot and seasonally closed facilities.
