Pretty mellow driving and an incredible place to be in Colorado. Only a few rocky spots on the west side that kept our attention, easy otherwise.

Awesome views from up here, and a fun short drive. Pretty busy when I went on a Saturday. Drove a few spurs off this road too. One ends pretty quickly on private land (bummer) and the other spur near the summit was more difficult than all of Hurricane Pass, but has a nice view overlooking Poughkeepsie. That spur (I believe it's called Alaska Basin) had some real steep climbs with loose rock and was one of the few times I've actually needed to drive in 4-Low. I'm sure that would be very tough if your car doesnt have good off road tires.

The Corkscrew / Hurricane / California route is one of my favorites. Scenery is amazing and this road is faster because it's less technical than something like Imogene. We experienced rain, hail, clouds and moderate traffic.

Great views on this short connector road. Wanted to take it up to Poughkeepsie but that is still closed as of 8/3/19. Amazing to still see ice on Lake Como, probably shy of 60 days until new ice is forming!

There are some awesome views to be had and sight lines are still compromised due to snow banks. Watch for traffic, the number coming and going on the route makes this important in order to avoid unexpected encounters.

Trail is open and in good condition. Very wet and muddy on the Lake Come side of the pass, which is still very much frozen by the eay. Keep an eye out for oncoming traffic as the snow walls are high, and narrow on that side. The views currently are very impressive with the snowcapped mountains.

Per San Juan County officials Hurricane Pass is officially open as of today. San Juan County has announced also that Animas Forks is able to reached by vehicle at this time also only by way of the Corkscrew/Hurricane/California Pass route. If Animas Forks is your destination then you will need to retrace your steps back the way you came at this time.

Hurricane pass is open to the top from Cement Creek (Silverton) side. Pretty good shape with a large turnaround at the top.

Heavy snow pack and late season snow falls have greatly affected the opening date to many of the trails in the San Juan Mountains. I will try to quickly update these trail guides to reflect when the hard working plow and dozer operators are able to dig these wonderful trails out for all of us to enjoy. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/sanjuan/maps-pubs/?cid=fsbdev3_002300

The views are amazing and trail is in good condition. Watch out for large herds of sheep and their guardian dogs.

My trip came out from Lake Como, crossing the pass at Hurricane then on downward towards the junction at Corkscrew.
My best recollection was of a wide and open track, apart from the shelf road overlooking Lake Como. Otherwise this is an easier section of the San Juans than most.
We were 7 hours into our excursion at this point, on a trip over a year ago, so my details on this bit are somewhat hazy, but the views coming through the Red Mountains above the timberline are expansive and unique.
