SHOT 1/25/13 10:54:44 AM - An avalanche sign atop Loveland Pass in Colorado. Loveland Pass is a high mountain pass in the western United States, at an elevation of 11,990 feet above sea level in the Rocky Mountains of north-central Colorado. It is located on the Continental Divide in the Front Range west of Denver on U.S. Route 6. The twisty road is considered to be especially treacherous during the winter months. A steep, steady 6.7% grade, along with numerous hairpin turns on either side, make it difficult to snowplow the road regularly. Loveland is the highest mountain pass in the world that regularly stays open during a snowy winter season. The pass itself is a popular destination for backcountry skiers.
