Victor Pass: a road through mining history
Victor Pass is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 3.115m (10,219ft) above the sea level, located in Teller County, in the U.S. state of Colorado.
Tucked away in the Rocky Mountains, the road to the summit is totally paved but steep in parts. It’s called Teller County Road 81, north of Victor. The drive gives visitors a look at local mining history.
The pass road is 10.94km (6.8 miles) long, running from the City of Victor towards CO-67. The drive offers stunning views of many 14,000′ peaks in the distance.
