Cameron Pass (Colorado)
The pass provides the most convenient route between Fort Collins and Walden in North Park, using State Highway 14.The pass was named for Robert Cameron, the founder of the Fort Collins Agricultural Colony and former Union general, in 1870.Parking lots on the east and west sides of the pass, as well as at the summit allow access to nearby trails that are popular both for hiking in the summer and cross-country skiing in the winter.The pass receives much snow during the winter months and is prone to avalanches, but it usually remains open all-year round.The pass has a mild approach from the West where the road rises out of the broad North Park area, and is steep from the East where the road climbs from Fort Collins up the narrow Poudre River valley.
