Monarch Pass Overlook & Trailhead

Monarch Pass is between Gunnison and Poncha Springs along Colorados Highway 50, which crosses the Continental Divide at 11,312 feet, offering sweeping vistas of central Colorados Sawatch Range. A large parking area, gift shop, and gondola make this a popular rest stop. It also serves as the trailhead for the Continental Divide National ScenicTrail, known locally as the Monarch Crest Trail.
