Pawnee Pass & Peak Trail

The hike up to the top of Pawnee Pass is, along with climbing Mount Audubon, one of the most enjoyable moderate to challenging outings in the area. When you make the top of the pass, it is only a short scramble to the north to climb Pawnee Peak. From the top you have not only a great view of the Indian Peaks but also can see all the way over the Continental Divide and into the Monarch Lake and Winter Park area.
