Silver Jack Reservoir

John Wayne loved this country, and so will you! Scenes from How the West Was Won and True Grit were filmed along this magnificent route winding through national forest and river basin country.

The stunning peaks of Chimney Rock and Courthouse Mountain pierce the blue Colorado sky as you journey along this 1885 cattle-drive trail. Tall white-barked aspen trees, spruce and fir, rivers, reservoirs, and seas of wildflowers nestled among towering peaks is the setting for the Owl Creek Pass drive.
