From Wikipedia Online Encyclopedia:
Cottonwood Pass (elevation 12,126 feet (3,696 m)) is a high mountain pass in south-central Colorado in the Rocky Mountains of the western United States. It is located near the border of Gunnison and Chaffee counties in Colorado and is in the Sawatch Range. The area surrounding the pass is mostly forest, with the San Isabel National Forest to the east and the Gunnison National Forest to the west.
The Continental Divide is marked at the saddle point of Cottonwood Pass. Notably, Cottonwood Pass is the highest elevation of a paved Colorado state highway on a through road. It is also the highest pass with an improved road in the state, the third-highest paved road in the state, and the highest paved crossing of the Continental Divide in the U.S.
