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.

Spring Creek Pass is the access point for hikers of the Colorado Trail/Continental Divide Trail to get into Lake City - unique hiker town. The hitch might not be too easy, but it is worth the wait. The trailhead has plenty of parking and a pit toilet.

Here you will encounter a confluence of different singletrack trails and gravel roads. About a mile up the gravel road to the north is Carson, an old, well-preserved ghost town. Section 22 of the Colorado Trail runs east, and section 23 heads south. The Continental Divide Trail follows the same route as the CT.

This is a nice quiet trail with some small waterfalls by the stream crossings. Be prepared to encounter the occasional mountain biker, cow, or black bear.
