Monarch Country is an incredibly beautiful mountain region spanning both sides of the Continental Divide in the southern portions of Chaffee and Gunnison Counties in the Rocky Mountains of south-central Colorado. Monarch Pass; at 11;312 feet above sea level; divides the Gunnison Country in the west from the Arkansas River watershed in the east. This scenic; wild; and rugged region surrounding the crossroads of U.S. Routes 50 and 285 is rich in mining; railroad; and skiing history and once included booming mining camps such as Maysville; Garfield; Monarch; and White Pine. The crown jewel of this spectacular high-country landscape is the Monarch Ski Area; which enjoys 350 to 500 inches of snowfall every year.
