Notes from Karst: Today we tried to find a way to Seven Lakes Pass and Blizzard Pass. From Gold Camp Road
we went north on Road 376. As the attached track shows we had to turn around at a big, solid Colorado Springs
Utilities gate. Apparently there have been discussions for years in the Colorado Springs council to open up this
area, but in May 2012 it is still closed. They have only been at it for 2 years, so it may take another decade or so.

The summit of Seven Lakes Pass is located at 38 47 35N 105 00 20W near Dead Lake.
Recognized in "The Passes of Colorado, An Encylopedia of Watershed Divides" by Ed Helmuth & Gloria Helmuth.
