2022 Map of Cucharas Pass

About this map

San Isabel National Forest provides the backdrop for this high-elevation mountain terrain where the headwaters of the Cucharas River begin their descent. The settlement of Cuchara serves as the primary hub at the northern edge, connected to the southern peaks by a network of forest roads and trails including the Dodgeton Trl and Baker Creek Trl. The landscape is dominated by significant summits such as North White Peak, Mid White Peak, and Boyd Mtn, which define the drainage basins for Deadman Cr and Texas Cr. Crossing the Huerfano and Las Animas county line, Cucharas Pass and Cordova Pass mark critical high points for local passage. The map detail highlights an intricate system of canyons and gulches, including Echo Canyon and Hells Canyon, alongside established tracks like Blue/bear Road Trl that navigate the steep grades of the Spanish Peaks region.
