Loveland Pass takes US 6 over the Continental Divide at 11,990 feet, on the road that climbs over the Eisenhower Tunnel rather than through it. Tankers and other hazmat loads are not permitted in the tunnel and use the pass year-round; everything else uses it when the tunnel closes, which is why it is the road people check when I-70 stops moving. The summit is above the treeline, with no shelter from wind or drifting snow.
