At 11,318 feet, Fremont Pass is the high point between Summit County and Leadville. The pass tops out at the entrance of the Climax Mine, which is the largest operating mine in the area. You get views of both the Tenmile Range and the Mosquitos from the top (on a clear day, you can even see some of the Sawatch peaks).
