Fremont Pass Continental Divide Sign Archive
These signs have always been located on the opposite sign of the highway from the Climax Mine. This mine rules the top of this pass, and it has completely reshaped this portion of the divide. This is in an area where the divide runs eat-west for a short distance, so the Continental Divide sign arrows on the sign here point to the north and south.
