Has anyone crossed the Ridgeline from Colby Pass to Triple Divide Peak to Coppermine Pass to Elizabeth Pass?
I am thinking of doing a trip up Cloud Canyon and than cutting back on the Ridgeline to Elizabeth Pass and heading down the Tablelands
I have hiked up to Elizabeth Pass via Deadman's Canyon and than out his way, but would love to try Cloud Canyon
Thank You for any feedback and I have picked up a bunch of info from other threads, but have yet to find anything on the entire route

As a winter sport, this is going to be brutal. Skis or snowshoes?

JWill60,

Since you asked this in the winter sports folder, I'll answer it that way. The route you describe is very close to a route I did years ago on a trans-Sierra ski trip. We followed the classical high route, from Shepherd's Pass to Wolverton. After crossing Milestone Pass and descending Milestone Bowl, we crossed the Colby Pass trail drainage and ascended the ridge that parallels the drainage. We then crossed Triple Divide Pass. Copper Mine Pass was iced up, so we entered upper Deadman Canyon by going over Glacier Ridge. From there it was Horn Col, Pterodactyl Pass, and the Tablelands. We set up a belay at two points: one was the near the top of the ridge that parallels the Colby trail drainage; the other was descending Glacier Ridge. Here's a sketch of our approximate route.
