Drone footage shot with a DJI mavic mini 4 pro. Along Colorado’s historic Alpine Loop, Cinnamon Pass sits 12,640’ above the San Juan Mountains. An off road vehicle is required to traverse the pass, but the breathtaking views along the challenging journey make it worth the ride.

During the gold rush of Colorado, Cinnamon pass was used to reach what would soon be the town of Silverton. In 1877, a wagon road was established over Cinnamon Pass connecting Lake City to the Animas Valley. Despite the route even having a telephone line, the bustling mining towns around Cinnamon Pass began to disappear in the early 1900’s.

I just picked up a Chevy Colorado ZR2 in March and I'm a total noob at more serious offroading (though I "softroaded" my 2010 AWD V6 RAV4 since I bought it new), and am curious how you think my ZR2 would do on this, and more importantly, how difficult you would rate this for a noob driver. I lived in CO for 20 years (left in 2018 for work) so I'm not afraid of heights, though these narrow shelf roads are new to me in the offroad sense. I've done the paved ones (Trail Ridge, Evans, Million Dollar, etc.) a zillion times on my sportbike but they were 2 lane. Thanks!
