Ouray County Off-Highway Roads
Ouray County Road and Bridge crews seasonally open and maintain several off-highway roadways and passes, including Yankee Boy, Red Mountain Town, Owl Creek Pass, Brown Mountain, Corkscrew Pass, Imogene Pass, and Engineer Pass. Crews begin to clear roadways of snow and debris in May; every effort is made to open these roadways by July 4th. Crews work in cooperation with the counties of San Miguel, San Juan, and Hinsdale, in addition to the United States Forest Service (USFS), and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to open these roads.
