Talk:Ute Pass

Ute Pass vs. Fountain Creek Canyon

Many visitors to this page may expect a page describing the Canyon between Cascade, Colorado and Manitou Springs, Colorado. While many locals, like myself, refer to it as "Ute Pass", or just "the Pass", it is not a pass at all. From what I can discover, its name is actually Fountain Creek Canyon[1].

A mountain pass is actually the highest point on a route going between two mountains. Fountain Creek Canyon is continuously sloped (otherwise Fountain Creek wouldn't run down it), so it can't be a pass.

I've been thinking about creating a page for Fountain Creek Canyon and linking to it from here. But for now, can we agree that Ute Pass is the highest point that US 24 goes through while passing through the Rampart Range, and that it's west of Cascade, Woodland Park, and just west of Divide? In that case, it's nowhere near El Paso County. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ken g6 (talk • contribs) 02:31, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

There are at least two Ute Passes in Colorado. There is another Ute Pass just north of Silverthorne, Colorado at 9,583 feet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.173.240.58 (talk) 18:14, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. This article does indicate a second Ute Pass; but cross-referencing with the Henderson molybdenum mine article, I wonder if it's actually Jones Pass (Colorado)? -- Ken_g6 (factors | composites) 05:17, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
