Overview

Teller Divide, named for its proximity to the Colorado ghost town Teller City, meanders through the Routt National Forest on the western edge of the Rocky Mountain National Park. After crossing Calamity Pass, Teller Divide offers spectacular views of the Jack Creek basin and the Teller City valley. Heavy snow during the fall, winter and spring seasons allows for limited access to this part of the forest. Teller Divide is very popular with snowmobiles during the winter snow season. Other popular four-wheel drive out-and-back routes begin along Teller Divide and offer the only access to the edge of the Never Summer Wilderness.
