Snogo Snow Plow, Snow blower in Larimer County, Colorado, United States.

The Snogo Snow Plow is a truck-mounted rotary snow blower built in 1932 by Klauer Engineering Company of Dubuque, Iowa, and displayed at Beaver Meadows Visitor Center. It has an enclosed cab, four-wheel drive, roll-up windows, and a six-cylinder Climax Blue Streak gasoline engine of 1,188 cu in (19,470 cm3) producing 175 hp at 1,200 RPM.

Klauer Engineering Company of Dubuque, Iowa, built this SNOGO in 1932, one of 39 made between 1928 and 1934. The National Park Service used it on Trail Ridge Road until 1952, loaning it to Rapid City Air Base in 1943. The Park Service gave it to Estes Park that year, which used it until 1979, when water entering the exhaust damaged it. Returned to the park, it is displayed at Beaver Meadows Visitor Center and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 4 October 2006.

The machine's nickname SNOGO was coined by Klauer Engineering, which styled the brand in capitals when production began in 1928. The Estes Park period lasted from 1952 to 1979, when water entering through the exhaust damaged it and the town returned it to the park. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 4 October 2006.

The blower is displayed at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center in Rocky Mountain National Park, off US Route 36 near the park's east entrance. It stands outdoors, so check the weather before a close look; snow and ice can cover the machine in winter. The park planned as of 2009 to restore it to operating condition.

Of the 39 SNOGO blowers Klauer built between 1928 and 1934, this 1932 unit is believed to be the oldest surviving example. The National Park Service lent it to Rapid City Air Base in 1943 to keep runways clear, then took it back the following spring. Water entering through the exhaust in 1979 ended its working life in Estes Park.
