Go in from the Cimarron side. The road is smooth and well maintained,all the way to Silver Jack reservoir. You can go all the way to Ridgeway it's downhill and easy except for being really bumpy most of the way. Beautiful scenery do it if you get the chance!!! Highly recommended!
Q:
Do you think this road would be safe for motorcycles? Thanks
A:
A dirt bike, yes. Otherwise I don't think I would try it. There is some loose dirt and 180 degree switchbacks that could present a problem.
Q:
Exactly where is this Owl Creek Pass? Is this on the Last Dollar Rd near Ridgeway?
A:
No, the turn off to Owl Creek Pass is north of the Ridgway stoplight along Hwy 550 about two miles. From there, the pass is about 15 miles along good quality dirt road. Brad
