Overview: Engineer Pass (12,800) is a high mountain pass in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado. The road is a popular 4-wheel drive route that passes through incredible mountain scenery and a visible mining history. The road starts in Lake City, Colorado and heads over Engineer Pass on its way to Ouray. A popular route is the "Alpine Loop" which includes Engineer Pass and back through Cinnamon Pass which ends at Lake San Cristobal, the 2nd largest natural lake in Colorado.
I am currently a student at University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA), where I intend to get a degree in Political Science and Geography/Environmental Studies. When I'm not studying, you will find me in the mountains. I have been climbing since I was pretty little and have done climbs throughout California, Colorado and Arizona, including the highpoints of those states. I have done Mount Whitney and Mount Elbert, but I plan on doing some even higher mountains, maybe Aconcagua, Mount Mckinley or Kilimanjaro, Check back with me in about 10 years.
