At 10,424 feet, Tennessee Pass is one of the high points between the cities of Leadville and Minturn. The pass separates Ski Copper (to the east) and a Colorado Trail trailhead (to the west). The trailhead has plenty of parking at restrooms while Ski Cooper offers uphill, downhill, backcountry, and cross country skiing options in the winter (along with other winter sports).
