Description
Cameron Pass, elevation 10,276 feet is a mountain pass in north-central Colorado in the Rocky Mountains of the western United States. The pass is a gap between the south end of the Medicine Bow Mountains and the north end of the Never Summer Mountains. It sits on the border between Jackson County and Larimer County, approximately 3 miles north of the boundary of Rocky Mountain National Park. The pass provides the most convenient route between Fort Collins and Walden in North Park, using State Highway 14.
The pass was named for Robert Cameron, the founder of the Fort Collins Agricultural Colony and former Union general, in 1870. Cameron pass was surveyed several times for railroads, including the Union Pacific Railroad as a possible route for a line through the Rockies. The pass is located the boundary of the Roosevelt National Forest and the Colorado State Forest State Park. Parking lots on the east and west sides of the pass, as well as at the summit allow access to nearby trails that are popular both for hiking in the summer and cross-country skiing in the winter. The pass receives heavy snow during the winter months and is prone to avalanches, but usually remains open all-year round.
Cameron pass has a gentle approach from the East, but is steep from the West.
