    Tips

    Hiking

    Reaching an altitude of 12,600 feet, Hope Pass is nearly 1,000 feet above treeline and is a true Rocky Mountain Pass.

A wooden staff with prayer flags marks the top of the pass, which is sandwiched between Quail Mountain (13,469 feet) to the east and Mount Hope (13,941 feet) to the west.
