Trail Information

Highlights

Expansive views of the Collegiates, Napolean Mountain, Green Mountain, Terrible Mountain, and rugged peaks are everywhere you look. Cumberland Pass packs big views of Colorado's mountains and connects two of the most quaint little towns around in Tin Cup and Pitkin while making its way all the way down to Taylor Park and Reservoir. People flock from all over the country for a summer vacation in this area of Colorado, and once you experience it yourself, you will know why. Cumberland Pass is part of the famous Miners Loop that includes Tincup Pass and Hancock Pass and a wonderful route for overlanding on a summer Colorado weekend!

Ran this trail with a large group so it was pretty dusty. The trail is pretty rocky and bumpy but an easy trail.

Shoveled some on the Tincup side to make it wide enough for Jeeps. Open for the season but I would not take a big truck or duelly.

Open for 5.5 miles on the Pitkin side. Deep snow at that point.

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.
