Engineer Pass
Engineer Pass mapped landmark, Alpine Loop, Lake City, CO
About this trail
Engineer Pass is a high-clearance four-wheel-drive route on Colorado’s Alpine Loop, connecting the Lake City, Ouray and Silverton approaches. Expect steep, rocky mountain roads, exposed sections and rapidly changing weather. Use the official motor-vehicle map and remain on designated roads; the Mineral Creek approach is for experienced four-wheel-drive drivers. The pin marks the approximate Engineer Pass landmark, not parking or a surveyed road junction. Plan for seasonal snow and check county road status before traveling. A Colorado OHV use permit is required where the official map specifies it, including for plated vehicles on designated OHV routes. Respect private inholdings and stay out of abandoned mines. Photos are historical, not current road conditions.
