The 1929-vintage History Colorado (State Historical Society of Colorado) marker reads:
This tablet is the property of the State of Colorado. Gore Pass. Altitude 9,000 feet. Here in 1855 crossed
Sir St. George Gore, an Irish baronet bent on slaughter of game and guided by Jim Bridger. For three years,
he scoured Colorado, Montana and Wyoming accompanied usually by forty men, many carts, wagons, hounds and
unexampled camp luxuries. More than 2,000 buffalo, 1,600 elk and deer, 100 bears were massacred for sport.
A trail by 1866, a wagon road by 1874, this modern highway opened 1956. Erected by the citizens of Routt
and Grand counties and the State Historical Society of Colorado through the Mrs. J. N. Hall Foundation.
