The hike towards the Royal Arch in Chautauqua necessarily passes through Sentinel pass, which with its shape and its location, could be renamed "Sentinel Ridge".

Great spot before descent to Royal Arch. In the snow it was a little bit to treacherous to go down to Royal Arch, but sentinel pass itself is already worth the hike.
