Ohio Pass Falls

Ohio Pass connects Kebler Pass and Gunnison and is an autumn photography destination when the aspens are turning. Ohio Pass Falls can be seen from a pullout on Ohio Pass Road and offers a few sequential longer low-angle rappels in a spectacular setting. These falls drain the East side of the Anthracite Range Laccolith, which is made composed of igneous Grandiorite porphyry and Quartz Monzonite porphyry rock.

Park at the trailhead (38.83482, -107.09168) to the overgrown Old Ohio Pass Road. 0.35mi from the trailhead, take a right hand spur trail, which turns uphill to gain the basin above Ohio Pass Falls. Ohio Pass Falls drains an unnamed drainage, which is a tributary to Ohio Creek.
