Dallas Divide
Sneffels Range in the background
One would not be far off to declare this region among the most beautiful on the planet. Property prices seem to suggest many think the same way.
The Divide is the 9000 ft pass on CO62 west of Ridgway which separates the San Juan Mtns on the south and the Uncompahgre Plateau to the north.
There was once a town within this view down in the valley; a toll road had been built in 1880, a railroad came through in 1890. The town’s post office closed in 1910; there is nothing left of the town.
The railroad ran along the faint line across the bottom with the line of trees to the right; Hwy62 is barely discernible in the trees just above the midline.
This view was captured from a friend’s home on the north side of the pass.
I’d trade everything I own for a 2 person cabin and that view.
Wow. That looks great.
That view is similar to where my son lives in the Wet Mountain Valley, Colorado.
We as American’s have been so Blessed. We, as American’s do not seem to realize it. Bring on the welfare check homey.
Looks like a hunting mecca.
Years ago my grandfather and a great uncle retired in decent homes near Neola WV. You can almost spit into VA from there.Their properties backed up to State Forests. All the times we hiked into those woods we never came across another person. We saw countless deer, turkey and squirrels which were common fare while visiting. I could settle into something like that for sure.
