Looking
for the Forest Service Yule Pass Trail?
(The Marble Quarry Trail is not
the Forest Service Yule Pass Trail)
The following information about the
public Yule Pass trail is from the United States Forest Service
YULE PASS TRAIL, #2083:
IN RAGGEDS WILDERNESS
White River National Forest
Length: 5.0/8.0 mi/km Difficulty: more difficult
Elevation Gain: 2,700 ft. Use: light
Beginning Elev: 9,000 ft. End Elev: 11,700 ft
USGS Map(s): Marble and Snowmass Mtn.
 The USFS trailhead for the Yule Pass Trail, #2083, is located up the Marble
Quarry road approximately 2 3/4 miles. The trailhead is on your right as you go
up the quarry road, about 1/4 mile before the quarry. If you park in the public
parking area at the end of the Quarry road, go back down the road approximately
400 yards (around Windy Point) to the trailhead.
The first 3/4 mile of this trail is steep but levels off to a gradual climb when
you reach the creek. The crossing can be treacherous, especially in high water
conditions of June and early July. After the creek crossing the trail follows
the creek through willows, meadows and patches of conifer.
The views from the pass are
spectacular.
