Monarch Pass, elevation 11,312 feet (3,448 m), is a high mountain pass in the Rocky Mountains of south-central Colorado in the United States.
The pass is located on the Continental Divide at the southern end of the Sawatch Range along the border between Gunnison and Chaffee counties, approximately 25 miles (40 km) west of the town of Salida. The pass carries U.S. Highway 50 over the Sawatch Range, providing a route between Tomichi Creek in the upper basin of the Gunnison River on the west and the South Arkansas River, a tributary of the Arkansas River, on the east. The pass can be traversed by all vehicles under most conditions and is generally open year-round; however, 7% grades exist, and the area is prone to heavy winter snowfall, often resulting in temporary closures during severe winter storms. Ramps for runaway trucks are located about halfway down both the eastern and western sides of the pass.
The pass is widely considered one of the most scenic in Colorado, offering a panoramic view of the southern end of the Sawatch Range from the summit. A gift shop and small restaurant are located near the summit of the pass. During the summer, an aerial tram from the parking lot at the summit carries visitors to the top of Monarch Ridge above the pass (at approximately 12,000 feet (3,700 m) above sea level), allowing a wider view of the surrounding peaks. During the winter, visitors enjoy skiing at Monarch ski area.
Late September is spectacular on Monarch Pass. I captured my drive from Salida to Gunnison over Monarch Pass so I could share the beautiful autumn colors. Music: "Whiteman Dancing" by Krackatoa (http://www.krackatoa.com/). For more videos, visit http://www.coloradovines.com.
Monarch Pass, Colorado: Ride along in this winter wonderland! US Highway 50 between Salida and Gunnison Colorado. Monarch mountain is approx 12000', and the pass is at 11,300'. Great fun, great scenery and sometimes some challenging driving. One of the few passes left with few guard rails which has an interesting effect on how one drives!

We are going up the western side of Monarch Pass, Colorado on highway 50. We made a quick stop up here for some pics and then went back down to the town of Salida to get lunch at this Mexican resturant of the East side of town on highway 50. Actually, as you are going East on highway 50, the resturant will be on the North side almost at the end of town.Damn...sorry, I cant remember the name of the place. I should because we stop there every year. The food is excellent and the "ritas" are even better. If you are in Salida and you want some good food...this is the place to go to.

This is one of my favorite rides of all time without a doubt. It starts up at Monarch Pass out of Salida and follows the crest until the Greens Creek Drainage. Here you dip off of the high ridge riding and into the trees with plenty of rocks and super tacky dirt. This trail offers tons of different riding options from high alpine to chunky technical rock and fast and flowy riding - all on one ride! If you can't get out for a ride today, just sit back, relax, and follow me!

The Idea: Hit as many Divide passes as we could in 7 days; working our way South from Rocky Mountain National Park. Then working our way west of the devide and into the Ouray Area.

This video is property of Train_PlaneHub, "RachaelMatt" 1080p HD! Its been a couple of years, so I thought I was long overdue a trip back to the notorious island of Madeira and Funchal Airport! I had the pleasure of flying with Monarch this time onboard one of their A321's and I have to say I quite impressed. Generous amounts of legroom in all seats. Knees not touching the seat in front is always a good thing and as always with Monarch very friendly crew and a nice clean interior. Flight was fairly busy but by no means full, there was a few empty seats dotted around, lots of people heading away for a Spring break somewhere a little warmer than the UK. And just a little warmer it was, only 16 degrees when we arrived reaching 19 during the afternoon. Actually quite similar temperatures t...
