Officer's Gulch is a small mountain pull-off that is home to a camping area, restrooms, and several parking areas. Officer's Gulch Pond is the actual pond of water that accumulates from snowmelt in the canyon. The Tenmile Range makes a magnificent backdrop for the highway-side lake.

A wonderful hike in the "tundra", for a long time above the 4000m mark, former mines are falling into disrepair along the way; often visited but always nice conversations at the summit; be careful with the thunderstorm warning! Open mountain flank!

Chalk Mountain is the western summit looming 500 feet above Fremont Pass off of Highway 91. At 12,017 feet, Chalk Mountain is not the highest mountain in the area, but because it's above treeline, it offers great 360 degree views. The summit proper is in a wide open alpine meadow and offers views of the Climax Molybdenum Mine, Mount Democrat (14,155 feet), Mount of the Holy Cross (14,009 feet), and much of the Mosquito range running down the northern Arkansas River Valley.

Searle Pass is one of two passes between Copper Mountain and Camp Hale on the Colorado Trail. This pass sits at 12,034 feet and is slightly taller than its partner Kokomo Pass. The ridgeline gains and loses elevation slightly, but it is not as steep as the sections of trail climbing up and down from the passes.

At an elevation of 12,027 feet, Kokomo Pass is one of two high mountain passes in the Colorado Trail: Segment 8. The other pass, Searle Pass, is a little less dramatic. It does not have as striking views as Kokomo, but it does still rise up to 12,034 feet. The section of trail between these two mountain passes is exposed alpine meadows with easy to follow singletrack etched into the landscape.
