A paved road to Trout Creek Pass in the Rocky Mountains
Trout Creek Pass is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 2.896m (9,501ft) above the sea level, located on the boundary of Park and Chaffee counties, in south-central Colorado, in USA.
Tucked away in the Rocky Mountains within the San Isabel National Forest, the road to the summit is totally paved. It’s traversed jointly by U.S. Highway 24 and US 285. The approach from the north is mild, while the south side has a moderate 5% grade.
It is passable by most motorized vehicles. The pass is 42.48km (26.4 miles) long running from Hartsel (in Park County) to Johnson Village (in central Chaffee County). The pass is usually open all year. It is closed only during severe winter storms.
