Resort Accommodations @ Motel Prices! | | | Kenosha Pass - Gateway to mountain biking and hiking fun! | | Kenosha Pass is just a few minutes drive away from Bailey Lodge and may well be one of the most photographed automobile passes in Colorado. From the top of Kenosha Pass the highly rated, nationally recognized Colorado Trail (#1776) crosses Highway 285 and continues its way across the entire state of Colorado. In this particular segment of the Colorado Trail, some of the most scenic views of the Continental Divide span the horizon. Trail conditions are excellent with plenty of challenges for the experienced rider. Less accomplished riders will enjoy the trail as well and can easily hike-a-bike around or through anything that looks "iffy." Hikers love the Colorado Trail as well as mountain bikers and a day-pack with a packed lunch will provide a full day of enjoyable sightseeing on foot. In winter the trail is especially fun with snowshoes or cross-country skis although many peiople prefer doing the trail on snowshoes because negotiating some of the heavily wooded sections can be challenging on skis and areas with southern exposure can melt off quickly and be devoid of snow. In such cases snowshoes easily slip off and be carried to the next section of trail where the lodge pole pines protect the snow from the intense Colorado sun. In winter the trail is as beautiful as any other time of the year. Places to Explore
