About this trail
Electric Pass is a 4.7-mile out-and-back trail in Colorado offering 1,668 feet of elevation gain. The route provides a moderate alpine hiking experience with steady climbing throughout. Starting from the trailhead, hikers ascend through varied terrain as they gain elevation toward the pass. The climb is consistent but manageable for those with moderate fitness levels. At 1,668 feet of gain over 4.7 miles, the average grade is approximately 6.5 percent, making this a legitimate but not extreme workout. The trail is managed by the local agency responsible for the wilderness area and is open to day hikers. As an out-and-back route, hikers will retrace their steps on the return descent. The total round trip distance is approximately 9.4 miles, allowing visitors to adjust their experience by turning back at any point along the way. Electric Pass is best visited during the typical Colorado hiking season when snow has melted and trail conditions are passable. Check current conditions with the managing agency before heading out, as alpine weather can change rapidly and high-elevation snow may persist into early summer.
