Milner Pass, Road mountain pass in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, US
Milner Pass rises to 10,759 feet in elevation and forms part of Trail Ridge Road through the northern section of Rocky Mountain National Park.
T.J. Milner conducted railroad surveys in this area during the 19th century, determining the terrain would not support railway construction across the Continental Divide.
The pass connects Grand Lake and Estes Park communities through Trail Ridge Road, which stands as one of North America's highest paved thoroughfares.
The mountain pass remains accessible by vehicle from late May through October, requiring a Rocky Mountain National Park entrance pass for access.
Poudre Lake sits at the eastern edge of Milner Pass, marking the beginning point of Cache la Poudre River's journey toward the eastern plains.
