Vance’s Hut Trail

This easy-to-follow trail features superb views of the Holy Cross Wilderness Area, Mount Elbert, the Mount Massive massif, and Ski Cooper. Vance’s is one of the most accessible huts; it is only three miles from the trailhead at Ski Cooper/Tennessee Pass. Many fallen trees across the trail makes this more challenging for mountain bikers.
