Description
Snow Pass is one of the easiest-to-access high passes in the Gore Range. The whole trip is fantastic, but the views (not to mention the fact that it's all downhill from there) makes Snow Pass the best part.
Half-Day Run: Access is from the Deluge or Gore Lake trails, either of which is from the East Vail trailhead.

Update
Dry - fyi, if you do the loop the other way (clockwise), that trail from Gore to Willow is NOT correct. That trail is closed and there is a new one open slightly more north. there is a trail on the map where this route says but it is no longer operational (fwiw alltrails has the correct entrance). if you go counterclockwise, you'll be forced onto the new path anyway.
