Hoosier Pass is 60 miles east of the Denver Metropolitan area, or about 10 miles south of Breckenridge. A recommended winter car camping activity is building snow caves on the west side of the pass. How to get there: Hoosier Pass can be accessed from the Breckenridge side by taking I-70 west from Denver to the Frisco turn-off. Follow CO9 around Frisco, south through Breckenridge, and 10 miles beyond to the top of Hoosier Pass. Park on the west side of the road, noted on the map as (P)3, the Highway Department usually clears a large parking area for cross-country skiers during the winter. The area: You will need cross-country skis or snowshoes to venture about on this trip. Go west on your skis; when it starts to get steep and the trees begin to clear angle northwest for a little way until you find a reasonable drift to use to make a snow cave This is a very short distance to the location for building snow caves (about .2 mile). There are several loops and additional distances west you can travel for a cross-country ski adventure.
