Approaches

From East. When coming down from Kokomo Pass, the Colorado Trail turns off to the south before it really enters Camp Hale. The turnoff onto FR741C is marked. But this is one of the few CT junctions, that could actually be missed if you don't look closely. The road leads to the end of a long Camp Hale housing structure of some sort. Here the CT crosses a small bridge and heads for an eminently ridable single track in the trees. This section is not quite as smooth as the next section on the west side of the Tennessee Pass Road, but it comes close in places. There is every indication that this trail has been prepared for bikers, by placing an occasional small bridge on the route, removing a vew rocks here and there, and just eliminating totally unridable sections. As for myself, I still get off the bike now and then.

The trail meanders and rolls along. On the map it looks like a clean contour above Tennessee Pass. Reality has more ups and downs. After crossing a dirt road, it remains in sight and ear shot of Tennessee Pass road traffic. A simple half split log, making a bench invites to rest and enjoy the view onto the nearby road. The highest point on this section is just a few hundred yard before crossing Tennessee Pass, and about 50ft above the road.

From West. (described downwards) The logical thing to do here is to keep climbing on the Colorado Trail. But to show this point as a shoulder summit, this side descends Co24 back down to Camp Hale.
