Wilkerson Pass, Mountain pass in Park County, Colorado.
The 2,898-meter-high Wilkerson Pass crosses through Pike National Forest, offering views of Pikes Peak and the Sawatch Range from its summit.
Named after Civil War veteran John Wilkerson from Ohio, the pass served as a crucial access route to hunting grounds for over 10,000 years.
The Wilkerson Pass Visitor Center exhibits information about local wildlife, mountain ranges, and regional history through interpretive displays and educational programs.
U.S. Highway 24 traverses the pass with gentle grades up to 5.8%, allowing year-round access for all vehicle types despite winter conditions.
The pass marks the eastern boundary of South Park, featuring the Puma Point Trail, a 0.9-mile interpretive path starting from the summit parking lot.
