A scenic unpaved road to Crooked Creek Pass
Crooked Creek Pass is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 3.051m (10,010ft) above the sea level located in Eagle County, in the U.S. state of Colorado.
Located in the White River National Forest, the road to the summit is a gravel 4wd track. It’s called Eagle-Thomasville Road (FSR #400). It is a scenic drive usually maintained by Eagle County as far south as Sylvan Lake, but 4WD is still recommended. The trail is a bit narrow and bumpy in spots but it is almost always easy.
Located south of Eagle and Sylvan Lake, the road is 58.25km (36.2 miles) long, running north-south from Eagle, the county seat of Eagle County, to the paved Frying Pan Road. The pass is marked with a sign at a cattle guard. Otherwise it would be difficult to notice.
