About this trail

Cordova Pass Road is a 10-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near the San Juan National Forest's Gunnison Ranger District. The route gains 1,080 feet of elevation over its distance, making it a moderate hike suitable for those with some hiking experience. This trail follows a road, offering a straightforward route through the national forest. The consistent grade and clear path make navigation manageable, though hikers should be prepared for the sustained climbing, particularly on the return journey when descending. The San Juan National Forest setting provides access to the area's natural landscape and mountain scenery. The elevation gain is distributed across the full 10 miles, creating a gradual ascent rather than steep sections. Hikers should plan for a full day outing given the distance and elevation. Conditions can vary seasonally, so checking with the Gunnison Ranger District for current trail status and weather is recommended before heading out. This trail works well for those seeking a moderate mountain workout with forest surroundings.
