Cordova Pass (11,248 feet (3,428 m)) lies on the western shoulder of the West Spanish Peak, east of the Culebra Range of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in southern Colorado. Cordova Pass lies just outside the Spanish Peaks Wilderness, a designated National Wilderness Area in the San Isabel National Forest. Cordova Pass is reached via the Apishapa Road, a leg of the Scenic Highway of Legends (a designated Colorado and National Forest Service scenic byway). As the National Forest Service does not usually plow the snow, Cordova Pass is normally not accessible from mid November to late May. Most of the time, the pass may be traversed by passenger vehicles.
