Independence Pass now open for the season. Temporary closures may again occur when adverse conditions exist. The Pass will close again for the Ride on May 19th, so the early opening will not affect the event. For the latest information on road closures and conditions, go to http://www.cotrip.org/

The Independence Pass Foundation (IPF) is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3)] foundation based in Aspen, Colorado (a copy of our federal tax return form 990 is available for public inspection at www.guidestar.org). Working with local, state and federal agencies, IPF develops and implements projects that maintain and enhance the ecology, beauty and safety of Independence Pass. The Foundation is led by a 12-member volunteer Board of Directors and staffed by two part-time consultants—an executive director and a development director. Since its founding in 1989, IPF's many donors, volunteers and contractors have continued to support us with their time, their expertise and their dollars. IPF is truly the beneficiary of the community's caring for Independence Pass. We are honored to represent all who love the Pass in our everyday work.
