Black Bear Pass in southern Colorado reopens after Kia Telluride gets stuck near Telluride
Black Bear Pass in southern Colorado was closed for an extended period after a Kia Telluride got stuck near Telluride. According to the San Miguel Sheriff's Office, a man visiting from South Carolina drove the SUV up the one-way road despite being advised by locals not to do so.
It reopened late in the afternoon on Thursday.
The sheriff posted on X that about three to four switchbacks past Bridal Veil Falls, the driver became stuck with the Telluride's wheels off the side of the road. The sheriff said that the vehicle was unstable and that it wasn't safe for cars to drive around it.
According to the sheriff, the vehicle required a tow. As a result, Bridal Veil Road up to the falls was closed just past the parking lot, which prohibits access to the Via Ferrata. Bridal Veil Trail remained open.
