I recently completed the 4 Pass Loop located in the Snowmass Wilderness (Colorado!). This 30 mile loop traverses 4 mountain passes from Crested Butte to Aspen, back to Crested Butte (with 8500+ feet of vertical incline)! We camped for 3 nights and hiked for 4 days.

The permits for this loop are a bit tricky to get but TOTALLY worth it!

@8ellisj and I did this same backpacking trip last year (my very first backpacking trip!) and I was quite unprepared and very anxious. We also did it in 2 nights instead of 3 with much colder temps. It ended up being a beautiful but grueling and uncomfortable trip. I was hoping to redeem the experience.

So, I was so excited, though nervous, about this year’s trip.

Let’s just say that this year’s trip was MUCH more enjoyable. What made it so wonderful? READ MORE HERE!→
