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.

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.

A small sign on a wooden post marks the High Point of the Colorado Trail. This is an amazing place to pause and catch your breath (if you can at 13,271 feet!), take in the stunning panoramic views, and bask in your amazing accomplishment.

Miner's Creek Trailhead is at the end of Miner's Creek Road and give access to, you guessed it, Miner's Creek Trail. There are no facilities here so please plan accordingly.

Jarosa Mesa Road (or the La Garita Stock Driveway), traverses Jarosa Mesa, a high, open plateau, below Buck Point and the Colorado/ Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. This stunning section of riding along the rough, unimproved road is frequently completed as part of the larger Jarosa Mesa Loop.
