Mosquito Pass Trail
|
The Mosquito Pass Trail is the highest pass road in America, topping out at just under 13,200 feet. The road is steep and rocky, and not recommended for beginning drivers. The view from the top of the pass is amazing, offering spectacular views of the Sawatch Range and the central Rockies.
