Fancy Pass sits at an elevation of roughly 12,500 feet. After a strenuous climb, you take your time to enjoy the impressive panoramic view over the peaks of the Holy Cross Wilderness.

Those who connect the Fancy Lake Trail with the Missouri Lake Trail need good physical condition. However, you will be rewarded with a unique circuit (15 km long, 1500m up and down and all between 3000m-3750m), silence, marmots and beautiful nature. Anyone who dares should inquire about the snow conditions at the pass. If it's still there, it can be dangerous.

Every hiker should ask before crossing whether there is still snow. We hiked in July and there was still quite a bit of snow for a long time. Good equipment is recommended.
