A scenic overlook view of the valley below to the horizon from the 9,165 foot mountain pass "Ute Pass" 26 miles west of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Easily accessible along US Hwy 24, Ute Pass lies along the Ute Trail route that was originally carved by herds of buffalo traveling between South Park and the eastern plains.
The native Ute Indian tribe called the pass "El Puerto del Sierra Almagre" / "Doorway to the Red Earth Mountains".
