Lobo Overlook
Rio Grande National Forest
San Juan National Forest
Click for map.Lobo Overlook sits on the Continental Divide and the edge between the Rio Grande and San Juan National Forests high above Wolf Creek Pass where US-160 crosses over that divide. The road up is gravel, starting about a quarter mile east of the pass where what is most visible is a large dirt turnout. It is finally signed at the road leaving the turnout by a gate. At the top, the road splits to access the lookout area with bathrooms and picnic tables or an electronics site where a short trail connects to the Continental Divide Trail a short way below. The overlook comes with quite a lot of view east and west with more view north to be found near the electronics site. The day was already looking quite stormy when I got there although it never quite turned into anything.
As usual, any picture can be enlarged if clicked on. If not, there's something I need to fix.
