Wolf Creek Pass, is in the San Juan Mountains. When  the  first pioneers came through, the pass took two to three
weeks  to  cross.  Every spring the trail had  to  be  remade. By  the time the automobile came along, the trail was
in  pretty good shape. But  those  first  cars  still  took  two  days to a week to cross the 42 miles from South Fork to
Pagosa Springs. There is  also  a  lot  of  river  and  pond along the road, most of it accessible for fishing purposes.
The  top  of the pass is at 10,850 feet. There  is a rest area there and a sign commemorating the Continental Divide.
The  Continental  Divide  National  Scenic  Trail  crosses  the road here  and  follows the ridges north and south. A
little  further  down  the hill is Treasure Falls, on the left. This is a beautiful 100 foot waterfall that flows most of the
year. There is an average of 38 feet of snowfall per year.
