Tincup Pass Jeep Road of Coloado

This trail is featured in the book ATV Trails Guide Colorado Taylor Park, Crested Butte

If you are in the Taylor Park area Tincup Pass is a must. The trail starts out in Town of Tincup and goes pass the beautiful Mirror Lake on its way to the pass. If you are early in the year be ready for deep water at the lake, the water was over our hubs on the 1st week of July. Also we were able to make it to the top of the pass but the trail was blocked by a large snow drift. The Timberline trail also connect to this trail near Mirror lake. If the weather permits and the passes are open you can make a loop from Tincup Pass to Handcock Pass to Cumberland Pass. This large loop should take all day.

Frenchy's Cafe is located at the start of the trail in Tincup. The Frenchy's restaurant serves a great breakfast and is a very historic place. While you are there buy one of their books on the history of Tincup and it will explain the history of many of the mines the trail passes by.

There is a camping area at Mirror Lake. We were able to drive our 2-wheel drive truck all the way to the camping area with no problems.

Tincup Pass Dirt Bike Trail

During the spring thaw the water in the lake floods the trail. In some parts the water was up to our hubs on our dirtbikes. ATVs should have no problem getting through. This picture was taken on July 1st.
