Trail Description
Stony Pass has lots of possibilities…you can go the short trip to the summit, you can go on to Kite Lake, or you can go all the way to Creede! I went to the summit and returned the way I came. It’s a short trip, but scenic. The route you take leads to the Old One Hundred Gold Mine Tour and you will pass underneath an old ore bucket, so look overhead for it! The summit of Stony Pass has lots of wildflowers and small creeks and waterfalls. You can continue on to Kite Lake or Creede.
Hi there, I love your site. I was just wondering if this trail would be suitable for a front wheel drive passenger car with about 6″ of ground clearance and if you could recommend any other good trails for a passenger vehicle. Thanks!
