Intermediate Snowshoe – Jones Pass

Carpool Place & Time: Meet at Wooly Mammoth PnR (Section BB) 7:00AM for a 7:15AM departure (Wooly Mammoth Park-N-Ride - Google Maps)

We'll then carpool to the Jones Pass Trailhead parking (Jones Pass Trailhead - Google Maps)

Additional carpool meeting places could include locations further north.

This out-n-back snowshoe hike starts at the Jones Pass trailhead where we'll follow the Jones Pass Road. At ~0.75 miles we'll leave the road and follow the West Fork of Clear Creek up the valley, ascending to reach the Continental Divide Trail. We'll be afforded some amazing views of several peaks, including Vasquez Peak, and the CDT ridgeline. This route avoids the high avalanche danger areas. We'll find a sunny spot to stop for lunch/snack. We return to our cars following the same route. Our pace will be comfortable for all participants. Overall ~5.5 miles and ~1600 ft elevation gain.
