Dallas Divide, Road mountain pass in Colorado, United States.

State Highway 62 crosses Dallas Divide at 2,738 meters elevation, connecting San Miguel County to Ouray County through the San Juan Mountains.

The first toll road through Dallas Divide was constructed in 1880, enabling travelers to navigate between settlements in southwestern Colorado.

The passage received its name from George M. Dallas, who served as the eleventh Vice President of the United States.

The route maintains a steady 4 percent grade on both sides, making it accessible for all vehicles throughout the year without restrictions.

The mountain pass forms a natural boundary between the San Juan Mountains in the south and the Uncompahgre Plateau in the north.
