Parrott Peak
Parrott Peak is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 3.352m (10,997ft) above the sea level, located in La Plata County, in the U.S. state of Colorado.
The road to the summit, located in San Juan National Forest, is gravel, rocky, tippy and bumpy at times. It’s called Road 316. Road conditions are always changing. Winter comes early and stays late on this trail, so you may only be able to safely run it in the middle of the summer. 4x4 vehicle required. A traveler on this road must be experienced and completely devoted to safe, slow and obstacle-conscious driving to deter danger. This is definitely not a Sunday drive. The steep drive will take some skill, some patience, and some tolerance for vertigo. Stay alert for potential turnouts as you may meet traffic in inconvenient locations.
