Kenosha Pass, Historic rail mountain pass in Park County, Colorado
Kenosha Pass rises to 10,019 feet in elevation, connecting the North Fork South Platte River valley with South Park through gentle eastern slopes.
The Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad operated through this pass from 1879 to 1938, transporting materials between Denver and mining communities.
The pass served as a pathway for Ute Indians who regularly traveled across these mountains to reach their seasonal hunting territories near Fairplay.
US Highway 285 crosses the pass with large parking areas on both sides, providing access to numerous hiking trails and mountain biking routes.
The Pike National Forest surrounds the pass summit, featuring extensive aspen groves that transform into yellow and orange colors each autumn.
