Here’s a great article with some cool information about our beautiful and historical mountain passes. With the weather warming up, this is a great way to spend a day outside enjoying the natural beauty of Colorado!
The mountain passes of Colorado. To the first miners and settlers, these low points in the Rockies’ alpine walls were treacherous yet crucial pathways into the state’s interior.
To many drivers today, they’re sometimes snowy, sometimes slow-going bumps in the journey from Point A to Point B, where the biggest danger is getting stuck behind a tractor-trailer. Routes like Independence Pass that once took three days to cross can now be traversed in a half-hour.
But stop and look around, and you may find atop many passes a recreation paradise, rich in history and a great launching point for adventures into Colorado’s alpine splendor.
