Willow Creek Pass, Colorado

Willow Creek Pass is just 9,683 feet in elevation, one of the lower passes along the Continental Divide. It is also a section of road that is very thinly populated, making for pristine views and secluded hiking access.

Willow Creek Pass sits in along the Rabbit Ears Range in the northern Rocky Mountains. It marks the border of two distinct rivers. The Illinois River flows north of the pass into the North Platte River. Willow Creek begins in the Arapaho National Forest on the south side of the pass. It flows for 25 miles and eventually joins the Colorado River in Granby. Enjoy great views and hiking opportunities along the Continental Divide pass.
