Craig the Natural Medic explores the Tennessee Pass Trailhead where the Colorado Trail and Continental Divide National Scenic Trail intersect. He takes a short snowshoe trek at over 10,000 feet elevation, sharing trail insights and snowshoeing tips during his adventure.

• Snowshoeing at Tennessee Pass near Ski Cooper and the 10th Mountain Memorial
• The trail serves as a junction for both the Colorado Trail and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail
• Well-marked trail with blue markers and occasional CDT or Colorado Trail markers
• Trail surface is packed enough that regular hiking boots might work, but snowshoes prevent occasional post-holing
• Important reminder: "They're called snowshoes, not dirt shoes" - avoid walking on dirt patches to protect your equipment
• High elevation (over 10,000 feet) makes even casual hiking more strenuous
• Area offers longer hiking opportunities: 6.5 miles to Holy Cross Wilderness and 115 miles to Hagerman Pass
