Hancock Pass

Situated near the famous ghost town of St. Elmo, Hancock Pass delivers an iconic Colorado high-country adventure filled with rocky terrain, sweeping alpine views, and reminders of the region’s railroad and mining past. The route rises above timberline and crosses the Continental Divide at more than 12,000 feet, where broad tundra slopes and rugged peaks stretch toward the horizon in nearly every direction. With ghost-town ruins, dramatic scenery, and the unmistakable feeling of traveling deep into the mountains, Hancock Pass is a memorable journey through one of Colorado’s most storied offroad landscapes.
