Expansive views of the Collegiates, Napolean Mountain, Green Mountain, Terrible Mountain, and rugged peaks are everywhere you look.

Attempted to access from the north end, planning on doing Cottonwood & Cumberland passes, all are closed for the season. Plows have piled up 5 foot walls of ice in the middle of the road on every way to and from the resevoir except SR-742.

Easy trail with some great views and nice stops. Tin Cup is always a great start or end to the trail. Check out the old cemetery.

Pass is totally free from snow. Went over the pass early this morning to a trail work job. Didn’t see another vehicle.
