At 10,220 feet in elevation, Catherine Pass offers great views down over Lake Catherine, the last of the three lakes along this trail. If you want even more incredible views, continue your run onto one of the ridges to the south, then turn east to visit either Sunset Divide (Sunset Pass) or the peak of the same name.

Hiking

Catherine Pass reaches up to 10,220 feet and offers unobstructed views of the basins on both sides of the ridge. The pass is most often hiked by those wanted to see alpine wildflowers. The pass is climbed from both sides, but it is most popularly hiked in tandem with Catherine Lake.
