A high mountain pass over the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains called Boreas Pass is located 11,481 feet above sea level. A path for prospectors into the region during Colorado's gold rush was provided by the pass, which was once known as the Breckenridge Pass. The pass still remains today as a seasonal picturesque route after it was subsequently utilised as a waggon and narrow-gauge railroad pass. The remnants of the former Boreas Station may be seen by visitors at the pass's summit. Mountain bikers like using the route, and winter sports enthusiasts frequently base themselves at the Section House.
