West Fork Pass

Travel over Owl Creek Pass from US 550 to the turnoff for the West Fork of the Cimarron TH. The last 2 miles of this drive require a high clearance 4x4. The trail gains gradually until the 1.8 mile mark when the route steepens. There is some talus to navigate until reaching the summit of the pass at 12,800' where there are fantastic views of Wetterhorn Peak (14,017') and Coxcomb (13,856').
