At 13,271 feet you reach the official highest point of the Colorado Trail. Neither the ascent nor the descent are particularly steep, so you might think that you didn’t climb up that much. Nevertheless, enjoy the view and celebrate your achievement! If you like, you can hike up to the nearby summit to find a geological marker.

Cinnamon Pass is part of the iconic Alpine Loop. From here, you will enjoy a stunning view over the San Juan Mountains, especially Handies Peak, one of the Colorado 14ers. There is some old mining equipment in the area and you can most likely see some deer up here.
