If you’re headed over Wolf Creek Pass ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, beware of a CDOT closure. Wolf Creek Pass will be closed on Tuesday, Nov. 25, for approximately two hours from between 7:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. for “safety-critical helicopter operations.”
CDOT is performing helicopter operations as part of its winter season avalanche mitigation efforts. Mid-morning closures for the same day are scheduled for Red Mountain Pass on US 550 and Lizard Head Pass between Telluride and Rico on CO 145.
Wolf Creek will close between South Fork and Pagosa Springs.
