Fandango Pass, Mountain pass in Modoc County, California, US
The gravel road through Fandango Pass spans 24 kilometers, featuring steep sections and hairpin turns at an elevation of 1,879 meters above sea level.
The convergence point of Applegate Trail and Lassen Trail served as a crucial route for pioneers traveling between 1846 and 1850 during westward migration.
The name change from Lassen Pass occurred when travelers burned their wagons for warmth and danced to maintain body temperature in the mountain valley.
County Road 9 provides vehicle access to Fandango Pass throughout most of the year, except during severe weather conditions in winter months.
The pass connects Upper Alkali Lake to Goose Lake, with remnants of the original emigrant trail still visible on the eastern summit approach.
