Trail Overview

This road will lead to the trailhead for the Columbine Lake hike. Vehicles are often parked on the shoulder, so use caution. The beginning of the Northern part of the trail will have you crossing Mineral Creek, which should typically only be a few inches deep, but there is potential for higher water levels possible in early seasons or post-rain. Towards the Southern half will be some steeper grades in the trail. Beautiful views overlooking the Million Dollar Highway.

Washout between Ophir Pass Rd and the spring at the top has gotten pretty bad and was a challenge to get past.

There were at least a dozen vehicles parked on the side of the trail, I imagine to hike or fish. It's an easy trail but not that many places to pass. Had to back up twice to let others by. Nice end to eastbound Ophir.

Washboard
Entering from the north, the water crossing is probably 8” deep and a few big mud puddles too. There is a big washout toward the top that isn’t getting any better. The road that was left was just wide enough to sneak our Yukon around without tumbling down the hill. Toward the south of that, there’s definitely some washouts in the road you have to navigate around if you aren’t super high clearance.
