Molas Pass sits at an elevation of more than 10,900 feet along the Million Dollar Highway, one of Colorado’s most scenic and weather-sensitive mountain routes.

During winter, the webcam is especially useful for checking snow-packed roads, icy pavement, blowing snow, avalanche conditions, and visibility along the Million Dollar Highway. The area is known for severe winter weather and rapidly changing road conditions because of the elevation and exposure along the mountain pass.

Summer and fall webcam views showcase dramatic mountain scenery, changing weather, wildflowers, fall colors, and scenic travel conditions throughout the San Juan Mountains. Visitors heading toward hiking trails, campgrounds, mountain lakes, and scenic overlooks often use webcams to check current weather before traveling into the high country.
