Empire Pass Mountains and Trails

These mountains are all located west of Empire Pass. Not to be confused with their same-name 14'er counterparts.

The "trails" are rocky fire roads, which intersect Bard Creek Road west of Empire Pass, which is located at 39.743913, -105.685590.

Location - 39°44'38.1"N 105°41'08.1"W - Google Maps

However, since the road over and west of Empire Pass is notoriously difficult for even high clearance vehicles, it usually is best for all but the most rugged vehicles to park just before Empire Pass.
