San Gorgonio Pass, Rail mountain pass in California, United States.
The San Gorgonio Pass extends through the mountains at 485 meters elevation, connecting Los Angeles region with the Coachella Valley transportation network.
The Union Pacific Railroad completed the rail line through San Gorgonio Pass in January 1883, establishing the second transcontinental railroad route in the United States.
The pass functions as a natural boundary between Mediterranean and desert climates, influencing the development of distinct communities on each side of the passage.
The transportation corridor accommodates both Interstate 10 and railroad tracks, enabling cargo and passenger movement between southern California and Arizona.
The mountain ranges on either side of the pass create a natural wind tunnel, making this location among the most wind-active areas in California.
