Kennebec Pass rises up to an elevation of 11,683 feet and offers expansive views of the La Plata Mountains and La Plata Canyon. This is one of the high points on the Colorado Trail and promises a downhill no matter which way you turn.

Kennebec Pass sits at 11,700 feet and opens to sweeping views of the La Plata Mountains and the San Juans. Reaching it requires a long drive on a rugged Forest Service road, passable only by high-clearance vehicles, or can be accessed by the Colorado Trail.
