Ute Pass (el. 9165 ft./2793 m.) is a high mountain pass west of Colorado Springs, near Divide.
The climate is arid, so many plants that grow here are adapted to low water usage. The pass at one time was used by stage coach and equestrian traffic. It is steep (6%) on the east side, but the road remains wide enough so that it does not cause problems in winter.[citation needed] The pass is traversed by U.S. Highway 24.
