Rabbit Ears Pass

Routt National Forest
CO 80459

For westbound drivers, this is the third and final crossing of the Continental Divide. Here, you'll pass from the Atlantic watershed back to the Pacific.

This is the original Rabbit Ears Pass. It is on the decommissioned highway north of the current alignment. Access is limited to the County Highway 199 west of the pass (east of the pass the decommissioned highway is a hiking trail).
