Final Climb to Engineer
The road you see is the Engineer Pass road that I am driving. Engineer Pass has an elevation of 12,800 feet. There are switchbacks all the way to the top from this point. This is located on the Ouray side of Engineer.
There is multiple ways to get to this point. You can drive the Engineer Pass from the Million Dollar Highway, or you can drive to Silverton, than to Animas Forks, than take the North Cutoff Road to Engineer. The first 7 miles from the Million Dollar Highway is very rough and challenging. If you have never driven roads like this before, I highly recommend you come from Silverton.
Don't let ego get in the way of safety.
