Trail Overview

Take this scenic trail parallel to Cumberland pass. These old mining roads take you to some historical sights, and an incredible 360-degree view at the peak of Napoleon Mountain. Feel free to explore more of the mining roads you find, but be sure to stay on the roads and off public property. These are old mining roads, so there are a few steep, rocky and narrow climbs.

Don’t know why this is rated a 6 on the map, but to be clear I did NOT drive this trail north of Tincup. Coming up through Pitkin, I watched Subarus and a CRV tackle this road no problem. Pretty frequent low clearance rocky sections and some potholes will slow you down. This is pretty brisk driving if you’re in a decent stock 4x4. Plenty of people in OHV’s and trucks, but the road is usually wide enough to pass no problem. Would have rated it 2 but it would probably very unpleasant in a Honda civic.

This pass is just a bumpy dirt road, it could be driven in a car with good tires.
