Rating: 5/10 Hayden Pass is the northernmost gate in the beautiful Sangre de Cristos and one of only two that cross this range, Medano Pass being the other. The summit is wooded at 10,709' and doesn't offer any great views to speak of, but it is in a corridor of the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness which borders either side of the road for most of the way. There are a couple of very small rocky sections and decent views to the east and northeast towards Canon City and Pikes Peak. I have taken this road only to the summit from the eastern approach at this point. It goes between Villa Grove on the west and Coaldale to the east. (The pictures from the western approach will be added soon) |
