Kenosha Pass

Located right off of Highway 285, Kenosha Pass and campground is known as one of the nation’s highest mountain passes, sitting at an elevation of 10,000 feet. This small, easily accessible campground is perfect for a family getaway, hiking, biking, backpacking and horseback riding on the lengthy trails. Take in the spectacular views of Mount Evans and Mount Bierstadt.

BE PREPARED: Thunderstorms are very common at this location and the night temperatures are usually quite chilly due to the elevation.  Don't forget your jacket!! 

WILDLIFE: Use precautions when camping or leaving your vehicle unattended. Keep food in approved containers or locked in your vehicle and ensure that all food is out of sight. Nobody wants a surprise visit from a bear. 

Do not approach wildlife at any time. If you have a golden opportunity to capture the perfect picture of Moose, Bear, Elk, etc., make sure you do it from a safe distance.
