Douglas Pass
Douglas Pass, elevation, is a mountain pass in Colorado traversed by State Highway 139. It is not an especially high summit relative to other Colorado passes, and the road, though reasonably steep on the south side, has no tight spots and only a few switchbacks. The summit gives an unusual view of the northeast face of the LaSal Mountains at 95 air miles away in Utah. The remainder of the drive is basically in valleys following creeks.
The mountain consists of shale strata belonging to the Green River Formation, good exposures of which can be seen on the south side of the pass.
