Robidoux Pass, Mountain pass in Scotts Bluff County, Nebraska, United States
The natural gateway through Wildcat Hills reaches an elevation of 4,603 feet and extends for 19 miles between NE-92 road and Summit Ranch Road.
Between 1843 and 1851, thousands of emigrants traveled through Robidoux Pass as part of their journey along the Oregon-California Trail toward western territories.
The pass bears the name of the Robideau family, who maintained a trading post with blacksmith and supply shops serving travelers in the 1840s.
The unpaved Robidoux Road leads visitors through the pass, located 9 miles west of Gering and south of Scotts Bluff National Monument.
The passage served as the primary route until 1850 when Mitchell Pass opened, offering travelers a shorter path closer to the North Platte River.
