Fremont Pass, Mountain pass in central Colorado, United States.
Fremont Pass extends over 34 kilometers through the Rocky Mountains, connecting the towns of Copper Mountain and Leadville at 3,450 meters elevation.
The Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad constructed a narrow gauge railway over Fremont Pass in 1884, operating freight services until its abandonment in 1923.
The pass received its name from John C. Fremont, who first discovered this mountain route during his exploration of pre-statehood Colorado in the 1840s.
State Highway 91 runs through Fremont Pass with gentle slopes and remains open throughout the year, except during severe winter weather conditions.
The Climax molybdenum mine at the summit of Fremont Pass once produced 75 percent of the global molybdenum supply.
