Backpack – BPX 3-Day: Fancy, Treasure Vault and Missouri Lakes from Missouri Lake/Fancy Pass TH

This is a stunning loop through the Holy Cross Wilderness with jaw dropping views, bridged crossings over surging creeks, waterfalls, and serene alpine lakes. The terrain is generally moderate, but with two steep passes to climb and descend. Our highest point will be Fancy Pass (12,360') with exceptional views of the Sawatch Range. This hike is counter-clockwise loop from the Missouri Lake/ Fancy Pass Trail Head, camping at Fancy Lake and then Missouri Lakes with opportunities for fishing. Excellent access to water at each lake and via streams on route.
