Cumberland Pass is one of Colorado's most scenic and historic passes.
The trail is very easy and can be driven in a passenger car without any
problems but is open to ATV's, dirt bikes, and Jeeps. The trail
passes lots of mining history. With a sharp eye you will see old mines
all long the road.
Frenchy's Cafe is located at the start of the trail in Tincup. The
Frenchy's restaurant serves a great breakfast and is a very historic
place. While you are there buy one of their books on the history
of Tincup and it will explain the history of many of the mines the trail
passes by.
The wide jeep road makes for easy going for beginners on an ATV or
dirt bike.
Cabin south of Tin Cup is now in a Beaver Pond.
Great views are all around as you near the top of Cumberland Pass
