Colorado
- Paved Passes and Other Paved Road
Summits - highest first
-
tabulation order: highest elevation
first.
- includes named passes, unnamed summits
[s(u)] and shoulder summits [(sh)]
- contains two sided paved road summits
- if only one of two principal
approaches is paved, the pass is listed
in the MTB table, not in this table.
- passes with a principal paved approach
and alternate unpaved approach are
listed in both tables.
- Elevations refer to the maximum
altitude along the approaches. If this
maximum elevation differs from the pass
altitude, the pass altitude follows in
().
