Description
Shrine Pass is a high mountain pass in the Rocky Mountains of central Colorado in the United States. In spring and early summer it is splashed with the colors of wildflowers by the millions. This meadow is splattered with the bright Red Indian Paintbrush. The plant itself is toxic but the red flower is edible which the Indians used as a garnish.
The pass is located at the northern end of the Sawatch Range, along the border of Eagle and Summit counties west of Frisco and just northwest of Vail Pass. It is traversed by a narrow unpaved road connecting the eastern side of Vail Pass near Interstate 70 (east) with the town of Red Cliff in the upper valley of the Eagle River (west). Most of the time, it is a 4WD or jeep trail; however, in ideal weather the road is considered traversable by sturdy 2WD vehicles and light trucks.
