Steep in places, with ruts that require careful tire placement to maintain traction. Near the top, when wet, this trail is difficult in spots. Snow can linger in the trees well into July.

Dennis Smith says

August 21, 2024 Entered from Shrine Pass Road. About 1/2 way to Camp Hale, extremely sharp and steep curves with sharply angled curves. Two of us, each on ATV. Going very slowly down this part of Resolution Pass, I overturned my ATV (first overturn in 24 years of Colorado mountain ATVn). No injuries, and great teamwork and winches to anchor ATV before Turing it upright. Also, no damage (except to my pride). Rest of trip to Camp Hale and over Ptmarigan Pass was beautiful. August 22,2024 With another buddy, we entered again from Shrine Pass road 9. This time we headed on trail over Ptarmigan Pass to Camp Hale … then over Resolution pass back to Shrine Pass Road. Trip up over that steep winding part was exciting and uneventful. Beautiful trip.
