Hagerman Pass

Located in the Sawatch Range between Leadville and Basalt, Colorado, Hagerman Pass is an incredibly scenic trail that crosses the Continental Divide at 11,925 feet. This high clearance 4x4 trail offers views of majestic mountains, glittering mountain lakes, stunning campsites, and takes you back through the rich history of the areas' early railroad days. This off-road trail is part of section 5 of the Colorado Backcountry Discovery Route (COBDR), which is a mostly off-road route across the entire state of Colorado from New Mexico to Wyoming. There are many hiking trails that start off of Hagerman Pass, even a few used by anglers. Don't miss this high altitude gem if you are looking for some fairly easy trail therapy and a mountain get-a-way reset.
