The pass was named for Robert Cameron , the founder of the Fort Collins Agricultural Colony in the 1870s . The pass was surveyed several times for Railroad s, including once by the Union Pacific Railroad as a possible route for a line through the Rockies. No railroad was ever built over the pass however. The pass is located within Roosevelt National Forest . A small parking lot at the summit allows 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, but it usually remains open all-year round, due to the relative ease of plowing the route. The pass is drained on the north side by side Joe Wright Creek , a tributary of the Cache La Poudre River in the basin of the South Platte River . It is drained on the south side by the Michigan River , a tributary of the North Platte River in North Park. EXTERNAL LINKS |
