Sneffels Traverse Hiking Route Flyover

This timeless summer route begins atop Last Dollar Pass, a few miles northwest of Telluride. From there, hikers traverse the north slope of the Sneffels Range for 34 miles through the National Forest and Sneffels Wilderness Area using four huts over five days of hiking. The route finishes in the striking mountain town of Ouray, Colorado, dubbed the “Switzerland of America”. Daily mileage ranges from 4.25 to 9 miles on remote, yet established, hiking trails and the elevation varies between 10,800 and 9,250 feet above sea level until the final descent into Ouray (7,800 ft). The trail winds through sub-alpine meadows, stream crossings, massive Aspen groves and towering evergreen forests. Several vistas are highlighted on our detailed route directions and are ideal for water or lunch breaks. Hikers will need to bring their own food and filter their water. A food resupply is a popular option at the second and fourth huts to keep packs light. Everything necessary for cooking and resting is found within the huts.
