Hoosier Pass is a well-traveled pass that leads to Breckenridge and other ski areas on the western side of the Continental Divide. Highway 9 runs through Hoosier Pass is maintained by the C-DOT and remains open all year. I visited Hoosier Pass during a snowstorm in March 2006 and snapped this snowy photo of the Hoosier Pass sign. 
The views of the surrounding mountains ranges are definitely worthwhile to see. The above photo is facing the west side of the divide and a great view of Quandary Peak is just a few miles downhill on Highway 9. 
On the east side of Hoosier Pass, the grandest views come in the form of the imposing view of Mt. Bross and Mt. Lincoln, as seen in the photo above. Mt. Democrat, Mt. Lincoln and Mt.
