Tennessee Pass is a 10,424ft mountain pass that crosses the Continental Divide, separating the Mosquito and Sawatch mountain ranges as well as the Colorado River and Arkansas River watersheds. In the 1880’s a mining boom brought many prospectors to the area and the first railroad over the pass was built in 1881.
