Cinnamon Pass overview
Cinnamon Pass
One of the main reasons to visit Cinnamon Pass is the opportunity to explore its rich history. The area was originally used by Native American tribes for hunting and gathering, and later by miners in the late 1800s during the Colorado Gold Rush. Visitors can explore old mining towns, ghost towns, and abandoned mines that serve as a reminder of the area's past. In addition, the pass offers spectacular views of the San Juan Mountains, including several 14,000-foot peaks. Wildlife such as elk, deer, and bears can also be spotted in the area, making it a great spot for nature lovers.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
