Located within the Dolores Ranger District of San
Juan National Forest, the 26 mile Snaggletooth Road and Trail begins
at an elevation of 6,220', reaches it's lowest elevation at 5,550' and has
an ending elevation of 6,070'
Snaggletooth Road/Trail leads into a near-Grand Canyon
backcountry experience. After starting out of Dove Creek, Snaggletooth
road follows the bottom of the Dolores Canyon for most of it's course. |
|
| The first 11 miles is an even, 2
track road through a display of red-rock geology. Toward the end of this
stretch the valley widens as the river eases toward the east, in
preparation for the Pyramid Rock gooseneck. The river loops around the
north side of the rock; the trail crosses a rise between the Pyramid and
the canyon wall. |
