Kenosha Pass Area
Kenosha Pass provides access to the Colorado Trail as it heads southeast towards the Lost Creek Wilderness and west towards the Continental Divide and Jefferson Lake. The Colorado Trail starts outside of Denver and ends in Durango, Colorado. It runs adjacent to the Kenosha Pass and Kenosha East campgrounds.
There is also a wetland interpretative area and the remnants of the Denver, South Park & Pacific Railroad wye (Y). "Helper" engines from either Webster on the east side or Como on the west side of Kenosha Pass assisted the regular engine in getting the train to the top and then used the wye to turn around and head back downhill.
General Information
The Kenosha Pass area is well known for its colorful stands of aspen in the fall. During peak leaf season (late September to early October), the trailhead at Kenosha Pass can be very busy with leaf peepers. Please use extra caution along the Highway 285 road corridor during this time. Kenosha Pass also provides scenic views of South Park from a small pullout area on the south side of the pass.
