Chaffee County Road & Bridge Department announces its plans to reopen Cottonwood Pass to vehicular traffic for the 2022 summer season on Friday, May 27th.
Crews will be working in concert with Gunnison County Public Works Department to clear the roads up to the pass on Thursday, May 26th. They anticipate the route will be fully cleared on both sides of the county line late that same day.
Cottonwood Pass crosses the Continental Divide at 12,120 feet, connecting Chaffee and Gunnison counties on Chaffee County Road 306 and Gunnison County Road 209. The Pass is generally closed from early October through mid-May due to heavy snow accumulation.
