BUCKSKIN PASS
LOCATION:  Central Colorado
HIKE STARTS:  Maroon Lake
HIKE ENDS:  Snowmass Creek
TOTAL DISTANCE:  15.8 Miles
HIKE TYPE:  One Way, Shuttle Hike
HIKE DIFFICULTY:  Moderate to Difficult
TRAILS USED:  Maroon-Snowmass Trail
TRAIL TRAFFIC:  Moderate
TRIP TYPE:  Overnight Hike
MANAGEMENT:  White River NF

HIGHLIGHTS:  We initially planned a 28 mile loop hike through the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness, but changed our mind due to the numerous 3000' climbs. The Ox and I ended up hiking from Maroon Lake to the Maroon-Snowmass trailhead near Snowmass Creek, a one-way shuttle hike that required a hitch at the end. Nonetheless, the views from Buckskin Pass and at Maroon and Snowmass Lakes were spectacular, and the fishing at Snowmass Lake was decent.
