사구아슈 카운티‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪11‬개의 산길

Close to the trailhead, there are some nice campsites nestled into pine trees. Beware that these are also car accessible. Marshall Pass is therefore a good spot to get on or off the Continental Divide Trail/ Colorado Trail. The area around Marshall Pass is also a great spot for rockhounding. The volcanic landscape bears geodes, agates and other interesting specimen, if you are willing to carry rocks. :)

Marshall Pass offers dispersed camping near the Continental Divide in Colorado. The terrain consists of forested areas and mountain landscapes. Nearby attractions include the Monarch Crest Trail and the historic town of Salida, with temperatures ranging from 30°F in winter to 80°F in summer.

This saddle sits right on the Re Grande National Forest and La Gaita Wilderness line, and is where the Colorado Trail/Continental Divide continues south to drop down to San Luis Pass. Enjoy the fantastic views of this well-earned climb!

San Luis Pass is located in a ditch between two steep climbs along the Colorado Trail. San Luis Peak is not visible from here.

San Luis Peak towers over the pass. The trail to the east heads along the CDT / section 20 of the Colorado Trail, and the trail west starts section 21 of the CT to Spring Creek Pass. You can also run south along the Willow Creek Trail, which becomes Willow Creek Road as you descend into Creede.

Saguache Park Road is a scenic dirt and gravel road that stretches through the Rio Grande National Forest near Sargents, serving as an access point and connector trail for the Colorado Trail (CT), Continental Divide Trail (CDT), and the La Garita Wilderness.

The Monarch Pass climb from the west, starting in Sargents is a classic and scenic road biking ascent on US Highway 50. Over approximately 10 to 11.5 miles, you'll climb around 2,750 to 2,850 feet at a consistent average gradient between 5% and 6%, winding your way up into the Sawatch Range. As the road is often cut into the mountainside, you'll ride through forested areas with glimpses down to Agate Creek below, and the scenery becomes increasingly open with expansive mountain views as you near the 11,312-foot summit. Be aware that while the road is good, it can have moderate traffic, and you'll be dealing with significant altitude as you climb higher.

The Medano Pass is a primative road that takes you up and across the Great Sand Dunes National Preserve. Due to its sandy surface, creek crossings, rocky sections and steep ascents and descents, it's only suitable for four wheel drive vehicles. The top of the pass gives access to the Medano Lake Trail, as well as the rough Hudson Ditch Road.
