    July 12, 2023

    Elkhead Pass serves as the highpoint on Missouri Gulch Trail and tops out at 13,220 feet. It is one of the highest mountain passes in the state and sits just below the east ridge of Missouri Mountain. Elkhead Pass is sometimes considered the heart of the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness, as it links together many mountains and drainages in the range.
