Off of Highway 145 in the San Juan Mountains, just south of the Lizard Head Wilderness is an exciting and thrilling occasionally one-lane steep sided no guard rail road known as the West Dolores Road. It is not intended for cars pulling trailers or RVs and when you're driving it, you'll understand why. It is a very narrow road but it has incredible views of mountains, valleys, meadows, and even Highway 145. Along the way is the Dutton Hot Springs, the gorgeous Dutton Meadows, tons of BLM campgrounds, and gorgeous river views.

There are three campgrounds and plenty of spots to pull off and stay the night off of West Dolores Road and its southern counterpart. One of those campgrounds is Burro Bridge Campground and it is very off the beaten path, right up against the Dolores River, and quite peaceful. It is a FCFS campground that offers restrooms, drinking water, and seclusion.
