Route: Cinnamon Pass via Wood Posted On: 2020-09-14, By: tjf242424 Info: Snow free for the entire route over Wood and 13,708 to the saddle northeast of Animas Forks. The ridge to the summit of Animas Forks is holding snow, including a fairly large slab covering the last 100 ft (photo). For the descent, we returned to the saddle just west of Wood and then dropped down scree to an old mining road which contours back to Cinnamon Pass. |

Route: South Ridge Posted On: 2020-02-03, By: SarahT Info: Started from Eureka. Several slides have crossed CO-110 but its in safe condition at the moment. After about 4 miles I veered off and started up the Cinnamon Creek drainage and quickly gained the south ridge of Animas Forks Mountain. Steep, loaded slopes near treeline led to more comfortable terrain with plenty of rocks showing higher up. I was shut down 0.2 miles and 100 feet below the summit. The final E-W running ridge between the sub-summit and the true summit was a narrow snow knife edge of sorts, doubly corniced in places... with steep cliffs on the north side and steep, loaded snow slopes on the south side. |
