Boreas Pass via Baker's Tank Trail is a shaded trail with exposed sections sprinkled throughout. If you ride to the end (or you can just drive there via Boreas Pass Road) you will be rewarded with the Baker's Tank historic site.

This is the place where narrow gauge trains filled their water tanks at the time mining was a big thing in the greater Denver area. There is a sign with more details for everbody who is keen to learn more.

More than anything, Baker's Tank serves as a historical spot that pays memory to the trains that used to travel through the area and had to fill their water tanks here. There is a huge water tank with an informational sign at the trail/road intersection.
