U.S. 160 over Wolf Creek Pass is set to open Saturday, according to Archuleta County Commissioner Clifford Lucero.

Lucero said the decision was made at a meeting held on the east side of the pass Wednesday.

Colorado National Guard personnel will serve to escort people over the pass, Lucero reported, and trigger points have been identified that would again close the pass.

The pass has been closed due to fire activity since June 20.
