Trail info - Stony Pass

Stony Pass is an often overlooked route(that is also quite long) than will take you from silverton over to the lake city side of the mountains, and then you can return over cinnamon or engineer pass, be warned that this takes a long time, as the lake city side of Stony is quite long. It also makes for a pretty quick little pass to run up from the silverton side on your way up to animas forks, cinnamon, engineer, etc.

The cutoff for Stony pass starts at howardsville, northeast of silverton:
