Four Pass Loop Trail Backpacking Guide – Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness, White River National Forest

I have a history with this spectacular Four Pass Loop Trail. Let me take you back in time to September 2018 (who doesn’t like to time travel …haha!).

I knew the answer (obviously yes) even before asking this question to myself. I had heard a lot about this national park, its scenic views, amazing trails, and a lot more. So, I thought the best way to experience all of this is to hike there.
