Notes from Karst Postma: It is just a short easy 0.4 mile ride from CR-2 (Engineer – Cinnamon Passes road).
Notes from Curtis Kohl: The short out and back ride on the road from the Engineer Pass road (west side of pass)
is fairly easy and very short. A little rocky but shouldn't be a problem on the big bikes if you already got to
this intersection. View from summit is amazing. I rode down the east side of the pass to the first switchback
(maybe 60-70 yards) and that's about as far as you're going to get on the east side. Big road wash out beyond
that point and it hasn't been travelled by any vehicles in many years. Backtrack to the Engineer Pass road.
