Tincup Pass 2.5

Connecting the tiny towns of Tincup and St. Elmo, this is a great way to get from Chaffee County to Gunnison County and back. Seems to get rougher every year.

If you start from the Tincup side you will pass by Mirror Lake. Stop here if you have time. Once you cross the creek and start heading uphill you can either stay on the easier trail by going right at the intersection or turn left to take "Old Tincup" instead, which is rated 3.5.  

The top of the pass is beautiful and offers some hiking. Stay on the Jeep trail and do not travel on the illegal routes made by people in the past.

Continue down to St. Elmo.

There is a GPS - gpx track at the bottom of the page.
