Kokomo Pass is a high pass at 12,027 feet above sea level. It has great views over the Gore Range of the Rocky Mountains. During the right season, bikers can catch beautiful wildflowers.

Tennessee Pass sits just off Highway 24 at an elevation of 10,424 feet and designates the separation of the Mosquito and Sawatch mountain ranges. Tennessee Pass is most known as a training ground for the 10th Mountain Division during World War II.

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.

Those who connect the Fancy Lake Trail with the Missouri Lake Trail need good physical condition. However, you will be rewarded with a unique circuit (15 km long, 1500m up and down and all between 3000m-3750m), silence, marmots and beautiful nature. Anyone who dares should inquire about the snow conditions at the pass. If it's still there, it can be dangerous.

Every hiker should ask before crossing whether there is still snow. We hiked in July and there was still quite a bit of snow for a long time. Good equipment is recommended.

At 10,424 feet, Tennessee Pass is one of the high points between the cities of Leadville and Minturn. The pass separates Ski Copper (to the east) and a Colorado Trail trailhead (to the west). The trailhead has plenty of parking at restrooms while Ski Cooper offers uphill, downhill, backcountry, and cross country skiing options in the winter (along with other winter sports).
