Sonora Pass, Mountain pass in Sierra Nevada, United States
State Route 108 crosses Sonora Pass at an elevation of 2933 meters, connecting Alpine County to Mono County through the Sierra Nevada mountains.
The mountain pass became an essential route for miners and settlers during the California Gold Rush, facilitating access between eastern and western Sierra Nevada.
The Pacific Crest Trail intersects with Sonora Pass, attracting long-distance hikers who traverse the mountainous terrain throughout the summer season.
Winter conditions force the closure of Sonora Pass from November to April, with snow removal operations beginning on the first Monday of April.
The United States Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center operates near Sonora Pass, integrating military exercises with recreational activities in the area.
