The pass lies on the boundary between Lake and Park counties between Leadville (west) and Fairplay (east). One of the highest passes in the state, it is traversable only on foot or with a proper four-wheel drive vehicle. 2WD vehicles will find it difficult due to the stream crossings and high rocky sections. It is typically passable only during summer months.
