A rocky trail suitable for high clearance vehicles and 4x4. We brought off-road capable trailers up this, but I'd be a bit leery to bring any long, not trail rated trailers up here. It's doable, but you'll need a good spotter.

Brown Mountain
Wasn't on our itinerary originally, but we did this trail in search of a new campground due to the black bear encounters at Portland Mine Trail.

Animas Forks
If coming in from Ouray, you traverse Mineral Creek Trail, swing by Denver Lake, Gold Prince Mill and come out in Silverton.

Engineer Pass Road
An iconic bucket list trail for many people. On the Ouray side you traverse Mineral Creek Trail, catch Engineer Pass on your way to Lake City. Then you can take the return on Cinnamon Pass to complete what's called the Alpine Loop.

Cinnamon Pass
The dark brown terrain definitely makes you understand why it's called Cinnamon Pass. Hitting this trail from Lake City you get to drive along a really nice lake and keep your eye out for moose, but you'll come out to Animas Forks Trail at Gold Prince Mill. This trail combined with Engineer Pass is called Alpine Loop.

Yankee Boy Basin
This trail has gotten rough. It's an up and back suited for high clearance 4x4 and ostensibly short wheel based vehicles, but I did it in a 2023 Power Wagon with no issues except a couple three-point-turns on some switchbacks.

Imogene Pass
An iconic bucket list trail for many people. Coming in from the Ouray side, it's a pretty easy trail with a few little water crossings, then of course the famous Poser Rock just before cresting and starting down the Telluride side. A very cool old mining area called Tomboy and then out on some pretty narrow switchbacks to a residential street way in the backside of Telluride.
