Meadow Creek Trailhead: Eccles Pass
Summit County - Eagle County - Clear Creek County
Eccles Pass is located within the Eagles Nest Wilderness Area and Dillon Ranger District of the White River National Forest. Eccles Pass straddles a high, divisive ridgeline between the Meadow Creek drainage (south), and South Willow Creek drainage (north). This remarkable vantage provides commanding views across each, and distant peaks of the Gore and Ten Mile ranges.
